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.
