Lewisham Cyclists are always happy to help anyone who wants to start riding a bike, or ride more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get a bike and get it working<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t have a bike yet, our Getting a Bike<\/a> page has advice on loaning a bike and buying a new or second-hand bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve got a bike, you can get it checked over and any problems fixed at one of our maintenance and repair sessions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Build your skills and confidence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want to improve your cycling skills, both Lewisham Council and Lewisham Cyclists offer cycle training<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also offer support to find and get familiar with new routes through our Cycle Buddies scheme<\/a>. We pair you with a more experienced cyclist who can help you explore your local area or find a safe route to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our short, local group rides<\/a> are ideal for people just getting started cycling. They can be a great way to discover new routes and meet other local cyclists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get advice and support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our website has useful information<\/a> on security, parking, maps and taking your bike on public transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also get advice by asking a question on the Lewisham Cyclists Facebook group<\/a>, or getting in touch<\/a> with us by email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
