Community Cycle Care & Confidence
Funded by Clarion Futures
Pedal Together Tower Hamlets is a locally rooted cycling initiative designed to increase bike access, participation, and active travel among residents. Activities will take place in Clarion neighbourhoods across Tower Hamlets – creating lasting opportunities for connection, confidence, and everyday cycling.
The project offers free Cycle Care Sessions, hands-on maintenance workshops, and group cycle rides – supporting people of all ages and abilities to cycle safely and confidently.
Whether you are new to cycling, returning after a break, or facing financial or physical barriers, the programme provides practical support and a sense of community.
If you have any questions about these activities, please contact Bikeworks – mechanics@bikeworks.org.uk or via phone (020 8980 7998).

These 3 hour Maintenance Workshop are designed for riders who are new to looking after their bikes and want the confidence to handle essential checks and repairs.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll understand how to use essential tools such as tyre levers, a pump, and a multitool, and leave with practical skills to keep your bike safe, smooth, and road-ready. Perfect for everyday riders who want to ride with confidence and independence.
⚠️ Important
To take part in the workshop, you’ll need to bring your own bike to work on, as we won’t be providing any bikes.
