Watford Cycle Hub

Come and join the friendly Breeze ladies for a free, guided ride this Saturday to Leavesden Country Park and back.

Stopping at the Woodlands Cafe for coffee and cake (and possibly again at the Cycle hub when we get back!! ).

Breeze rides are British Cycling supported free, ladies only rides, intended to widen accessibility and familiarity to those who may have fallen out of practice. Led by volunteer leaders who are trained to lead groups and in first aid, they're a great way to get back into cycling in a friendly environment.

We never leave anyone behind, and go at the slowest persons' pace.

Hello! 👋👋👋,

My name is Jack and I am the new manager for Watford Cycle Hub.

I have been wrenching away in the cycle industry for the last 8 years. Previously working at Cycles UK in Watford and Giant St. Albans as the workshop manager.

Starting this role is super exciting because of the positive impact the hub has for the local and wider community.

Everything from the mini town, learn to ride courses, the café and the cycle shop provide such a great asset to Watford. Some would say its Watford’s hidden treasure.

Cycling is a massive part of my life! Anything from road riding, gravel trips and racing MTB; I love it all. I have visited some amazing places on a bike and I strong believe that cycling is such a great tool for the mind and body. I also like to try the occasional round of golf.

Whether its some advice about your bike or looking for another cycle route in the area or even if you want a friendly conversation; the team and I are here to help!

See you out there on the trails!

Jack 🚴‍♂️😀

Great festival to enjoy! Come on your bike and pop in to see us too 😀
