Thanet District Council

We are excited to announce, Thanet District Council has been successful in being awarded Big Bike Revival Funding for the 3rd year.
We are really looking forward to welcoming you on rides with Thanet Coast Project, Birdwise and the Biodiversity Team.
We will also be running free Bike Fix events in Partnership with Thanet Libraries, Millmead Community Centre, Pavillion Youth Cafe, Ramsgate FC and Margate FC.
Then we invite you to celebrate cycling in Thanet with us by joining us in the Margate Carnival Parade and at The Sunken Garden Eco Fair!

Our events

Which event is right for you?

Ride

Join a short ride and explore local routes

Ideal for adult beginners, improvers or returners, you can expect to join a small group with like-minded others. Go at your own pace, cycle on pathways, off-road tracks and quite roads. Learn where to cycle locally and pick up route planning tips. Build confidence and practise skills. Sessions are led by trained leaders; rides are short, start in the community and usually include a break. More

Learn to Ride

Learn to ride and improve your cycling

Ideal for adult beginners, improvers and returners, you can expect to master a range of skills. Learn how to balance, look over your shoulder, use your brakes and gears, cycle around objectives, pass people and road positioning. Sessions take place in quiet closed-off spaces and are led by experienced instructors. More

Fix

Get your bike safety checked at a fix event

Experienced mechanics will check your bike to ensure it’s safe to ride. They might include one or two minor repairs such as: replacing brake cables and pads, indexing and adjusting gears, checking chains for wear and lubrication, pumping up tyres and fixing punctures. A maximum of 20 minutes is FREE, recommendations are provided for more advanced repairs. Events are often pop-up and in community locations. More

Learn to Fix

Learn to fix and look after your cycle

If you are looking for basic maintenance tips and tailored advice from experienced mechanics, this is for you. Learn how to pump up tyres, lubricate a chain, change brake pads or fix a puncture. Pick up tips on cleaning and checking your cycle for wear and tear. Sessions might take place in a workshop or an indoor space with access to tools. More
