Jackie Chan uses his bike for transport, recreation, and kicking ass in the alleys of old Hong Kong in Project A (1983) Happy #BicycleBirthday, Jackie! April 7, 1954

What an amazing day for a cycle ride, bike sale & brewery take-over! Thanks to our volunteers, Windsor & Eton Brewery, and everyone who came to see us.

Just 1 hr before today’s fun at Windsor & Eton Brewery (we’re not at @theswanclewer.bsky.social today). Full details below 👇

Don’t forget, we’re NOT at @theswanclewer.bsky.social tomorrow, we’re at our favourite Windsor brewery instead. That’s so we can have a refurbished bike sale, & attract some new people who aren’t sure where Clewer is! (It’s the OTHER side of the relief road, it’s NOT far!)

This Saturday (5th April), we're having an Away Day from our home of @theswanclewer.bsky.social to Windsor & Eton Brewery. All the stuff you expect from us (a ride & repairs), plus a sale of refurbished bikes - with prices starting at only £25. It's an easy Level 1 ride & repairs are free!

For the 1st weekend of April, it's an Easy Level 1 guided ride on Saturday from Windsor & Eton Brewery this week (NOT The Swan) at 11am sharp. Don't forget the refurbished bike sale & Bike Kitchen free safety checks/basic repairs. Book ride & repairs here: bit.ly/49VSkq2

Don’t forget, there’s no ride tomorrow, so the ideal time to get your bike checked over &/or security marked 👇 for spring.

It's a 5 weekend month, so no ride on Saturday. Good news, Bike Kitchen will be at @theswanclewer.bsky.social from 11am taking care of tech issues - perfect for our regulars to get their bikes checked, book with this link bit.ly/3L2XCUa. Plus, we're doing FREE Bike Register security marking.

Well that was March’s Level 4 gravel ride! The weather held off & we had a fine old time getting to Cookham. Next week there’s no ride, as it’s a rare 5th Saturday - but our Bike Kitchen will be open to get your cycles ready for more spring riding.

Just an hour before this week’s session. Full details below:

At #WindsorCycleHub, we don’t just do Saturdays. Today we were down at the Windsor Family Hub to share info about our group with the community. Thanks Jon Davey of #ILoveWindsor for taking the initiative.

For the 4th weekend of March, it's an Advanced Level 4 guided ride on Saturday from @theswanclewer.bsky.social at 11am sharp. It's a GRAVEL ride to Cookham - bring a spare inner tube! Bike Kitchen is open for free safety checks/basic repairs. Book ride & repairs here: bit.ly/49VSkq2

The 6th person to bring a bike in for repair gets a disc marked 6 & we’ll* say “You are number six!”. If you reply “I’m not a number, I’m a free man!” we’ll buy you a drink*. Same gag, every Saturday morning at @theswanclewer.bsky.social Windsor. Be seeing you! *Depends who’s on duty

If you’ve got your bike “in another fine mess”, we’ll sort it out for you. We’re at @theswanclewer.bsky.social in Windsor every Saturday from 11am.

Think your bike isn’t the right size for you? Pop down to @theswanclewer.bsky.social from 11am any Saturday for a chat & a bit of free adjustment or advice. BTW, we sell refurbished bikes at really keen prices.

New food offering at our community pub HQ @theswanclewer.bsky.social 🦢. Choice of 🥓 &/or sausage (meat or veg) in a mini 🥖 only £4. They also do 🥧. Perfect post ride fare, especially when washed down with one of the fine selection of 🍺s.

It was back to our favourite place to ride today: Windsor Great Park. We also had a one-to-one session for an adult learner (let us know if you need one). Plus we fixed plenty of bikes back at @theswanclewer.bsky.social. Next week we’ve off to Cookham on a Level 4 gravel ride.

Get yourself down to @theswanclewer.bsky.social for some cycling fun!

Be smart, like Albert, & ride your bike. If you’re in Windsor, then bring it down to show us at @theswanclewer.bsky.social this (& every) Saturday from 11am. We’ll check that it’s working efficiently or you can join one of our guided rides.

It's the 3rd weekend of March, so an intermediate Level 3 guided ride on Saturday from @theswanclewer.bsky.social at 11am. We’re off to Windsor Great Park 🌳🦌. We'll have two speeds/length rides. Bike Kitchen is open for free safety checks/basic repairs. Book ride & repairs here: bit.ly/49VSkq2

“If only we knew a nice way to cycle to Windsor Great Park”. You’re in luck, as we’re riding there on Saturday from @theswanclewer.bsky.social at 11am!

What a beautiful day 🌞 ! We had 3 groups out on today’s Level 2 ride via Herschel 🔭 Park. We all came together on the Jubilee River. Meanwhile, ‘the persuader’ was pressed into service back at @theswanclewer.bsky.social. Back next week!

Just under an hour before today’s fun. We’re got a moderate Level 2 ride - great if you already cycle around town, but want to explore. Or come in & get your bike checked out for free. Details 👇

Live in/near #Windsor & want to get fitter, &/or meet new people, this year? Finally, we’ve got decent weather ☀️ - so why not join us on Saturday morning? It’s a moderate Level 2 ride - not for absolute beginners but very achievable with regular fitness/bike riding skills. Details 👇

The 2nd weekend of March 🌼means: a moderate Level 2 guided ride on Saturday from @theswanclewer.bsky.social, leaving 11am & good weather 🌞!We’re off to Herschel 🔭 park etc. Book ride & repairs here: bit.ly/49VSkq2

The Bridge. Creative done with @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social

A super busy session at @theswanclewer.bsky.social today - doubtless due to the first decent Saturday of the year. Must be because it’s St.David’s day 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. Our riders enjoyed the sun so much, they forgot to take any pictures. Plenty of bikes fixed & security marked back at base.

Happy Saint David’s day! Free Welsh cake with every bike security marked (that’s free too). Today’s ride isn’t urban, we’ll be looking for spring flowers. And don’t forget our bike kitchen. See you from 11am 👇
