Our credentials speak to our commitment to excellence and inclusivity. As a British Cycling Go-Ride and Limitless Focus Club, we deliver high-quality coaching while ensuring cycling is accessible to everyone, including dedicated support for disabled cyclists.

We offer children's coaching sessions, family-friendly outings, and exhilarating velodrome experiences. When weather or time constraints keep you indoors, our virtual cycling options keep you connected. Many members even extend their fitness journey beyond cycling, participating in local Park Runs and other community activities.

Guided by a passionate and dedicated committee, Newbury Velo is where cycling and triathlon enthusiasts of all kinds find their tribe. Come join our friendly pink-clad community—the first thing you'll notice is something we all share: the genuine smiles on our faces.
