Part of Cycling UK’s Big Bike Revival
The Big Bike Revival in Newcastle
Free cycling sessions to help adults who haven’t cycled for a while get back on a bike, in a friendly, local group.
Our 2026 sessions finished on 31 October. Thank you to everyone who came along. Want to keep riding? Bike and Banter runs every weekend, with bikes and helmets provided.
What the Big Bike Revival is
We deliver free cycling sessions as part of Cycling UK’s Big Bike Revival. The sessions are for adults who aren’t cycling at the moment, or ride less than once a month, and want to get back on a bike in a supportive, friendly and local setting.
What the sessions include
Led rides
Explore safe, local routes with our friendly team.
Learn to ride
Supportive sessions to build cycling confidence from scratch.
Bikes and helmets
Use our fleet of adult bikes and helmets, based at our Bike Hub. You don’t need your own bike.
Who it’s for
Adults (18+) living in Newcastle, particularly in Walker, Byker and the surrounding areas. All abilities and confidence levels are welcome.
Where we meet
Sessions run at several venues across Newcastle upon Tyne and North Tyneside. We try to ensure each meeting place is on public transport routes and is a trusted community hub.
