SUSTAINABILITY. ACCESSIBILITY. OPPORTUNITY.

Our Mission

We’re a community-powered organisation creating opportunities, building confidence and changing lives through cycling.

Our Home

Since 2020, we have been delivering programmes and working in partnership with youth organisations, schools, health services, and youth justice services across Lambeth.

We recently opened our own Community Hub in the heart of Brixton where we…

  • Transform lives through bike donations, workshops and cycling lessons that build confidence, independence, and wellbeing.

  • Provide structured work experience, training, mentoring, and skills development programmes that support personal growth, employability, and lifelong learning.

  • Deliver community events and workshops that bring people together, strengthen social connections, and enable participants to learn valuable new skills.

  • Sell affordable refurbished bikes, professional bike repairs, and servicing to improve access to sustainable transport and promote active lifestyles.

  • Offer flexible venue hire, supporting private events, training sessions, meetings, and local initiatives.

Meet The jospehs

From a simple puncture repair to riding together as a family.

What started with one child learning to fix a puncture grew into a whole family cycling with confidence.

Despite setbacks like bike theft and storage challenges. ongoing support, skills and encouragement helped make cycling part of everyday life - for school runs, park rides and quality family time.

This is why cycling matters. it builds confidence, access and resilience for the whole family.

NEW MERCH!

Screen printed on heavyweight 200 GSM crew neck t-shirts, in bold colours, these tees are made to last long and be worn proudly.

Designed by our long-time collaborator Peon, this latest piece pays tribute to old-school bike couriers, Lambeth landmarks, and the community that keeps our wheels turning.

More than just a t-shirt, this design represents upCYCLE LDN out in the world. Every shirt worn helps spread the word about what we do, the people we support, and the culture we’ve built together.

Every penny raised goes directly back into our programmes at the Hub, helping us keep creating opportunities, supporting riders, and building community.
