Welcome to Harrow Cycle Hub!
We’re a registered charity founded in 2021 to get more people cycling in Harrow. We run courses and activities at the former Harrow Civic Centre, and plan to build a new Cycling Centre for the whole of Harrow. DONATE HERE

Come on a friendly, free led ride!
Did you know that every week, dozens of local people head out on friendly free bike rides, led by qualified volunteer ride leaders who know the area and find the nicest places to go? Why not join them? There are rides of various lengths for all abilities.
To be the first to know what’s happening, sign up to the Groups Breeze Harrow (women only) and Harrow Cycle Hub (mixed) on the Letsride website.
CHILDREN’S DIWALI RIDE
Thank you to all who came!
The Mayor of Harrow, Cllr Anjana Patel, and Children’s Services Portfolio Holder Cllr Hitesh Karia, enjoyed meeting children, parents and volunteers at our third Diwali ride! Organised by Harrow Cyclists, part of the London Cycling Campaign, with Harrow Cycle Hub, the ride welcomed 80 parents, children and young people of all abilities and involved 24 volunteers. We had food, drink, a Bollywood dance workshop by Sam Somnath, mechanical support and adapted cycles. Aariana Jain from Hatch End won the prize for the best-dressed bike. Her Mum Priyanka said: ‘I’d like to thank Harrow Cycle Hub, Harrow Cyclists and all the volunteers for their welcoming spirit and a joyful event that beautifully brought the community together.’
Want to Learn to Ride?
Harrow Cycle Hub has friendly cycling classes for teenagers and adults, taught by qualified volunteer coaches at Harrow Civic Centre. No bike? No problem! Bike hire is available.
Listen to Donna John who learned to ride with the Hub
Former student Anna Ananth says: ‘I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Harrow Cycle Hub for teaching me to ride a bike and putting on so many interesting and varied rides. Today I completed 50 rides!’
