Bring your bike along and have it checked by our volunteers. We can make sure your bike is safe to ride on the roads and we carry out some minor repairs and have a supply of basic spare parts, such as brake blocks and common sizes of inner tubes. We accept voluntary contributions by cash or card to cover the cost of spare parts.
The Redbridge Cycling Campaign committee would like to congratulate the councillors who won or retained their seats at the 2026 elections and would like to convey best wishes for the future to those we have worked with in the past who are no longer on the Council.
We look forward to working with the Council in the future, including the Labour and Green members who committed to the Streets for Cycling pledge and with all the other Councillors.
