Massed cyclists approach Westgate as part of Mass Ride 5, 2021

Cycle Winchester is the local cycling advocacy group for the Winchester area

Our aim is to make Winchester and its surrounding settlements ‘better by bike’ – to create a better city by:

  • promoting cycling as a convenient, healthy, inexpensive and environmentally-friendly way to get around;
  • campaigning for improved provision that will enable more people to cycle.

You can support our work – and gain discounts at local bike shops – by becoming a member, by signing up to our email list, by following us on social media, and by signing the Winchester Cycling Charter.
