Membership Overview

We welcome new members throughout the year, so you can jump in whenever it suits you and start enjoying everything the club has to offer straight away.

Our members come from all backgrounds – from beginners to seasoned riders, commuters to racers.  Whether you’re looking to improve your fitness, get back on the bike, or simply enjoy riding with others, you’ll find a warm welcome and active, supportive community at Swindon Wheelers.

To join our club click the following link Swindon Wheelers which will take you to our page on the British Cycling Website. You don’t need to be a British Cycling member to join us, they securely process your payment enabling you to pay by card. There is a £1 admin charge for this service.  There are several options to choose from and membership runs from 1st January – 31st December.

MEMBERSHIP subscriptions are due on 1st January each year for the next 12 months. To join or renew your membership for the year ahead please click here.

New joiners after 1 October will receive membership to the end of the following year.

If you’re considering joining us for the first time, it may help to explain what motivates our club. We’re here to support anyone who wants to take up cycling more seriously or progress to the next level. We understand that choosing the right club matters, so hope this gives you a clearer idea of who we are before you decide whether to join.

Think of us primarily as a road cycling club. Whilst we also enjoy triathlon, time trials, cyclocross and mountain biking, our social passion is very much for the black stuff – tarmac and coffee! Take a look at our Cycling with the Club page for details of ride speeds and distances.

Our membership offers excellent value.

Individual annual membership is just £20, with other options also available, you’ll enjoy all of the following benefits:

• Weekly led rides for all abilities.
• Member discounts at local bike shops.
• Active online communities on Facebook, Strava, and Zwift.
• British Cycling online membership — 50% off for new members.
• Great-value club kit, overseas tours, and regular social events.
• Access to a wide range of events via British Cycling and cycling Time Trials.

Ready for a club ride? Just sign up for any of our weekday, Saturday or Sunday rides. We’re happy for you to try us out before you pay for membership, you’ll need to decide whether to join us after your third ride for insurance purposes. We also recommend applying for British Cycling membership for personal insurance cover and additional benefits.

Youth Membership

The Club is pleased to continue developing its support for young riders. Building on the success of the Peloteens initiative, led by Paul Ashman, Swindon Wheelers offers membership to riders aged 10 to 15 through its established Youth section.

Our Youth membership category aligns with British Cycling’s age-group structure and sits alongside our existing Junior membership, which remains unchanged. Youth membership is available at an affordable £5, plus a £1 British Cycling administration fee.

As part of the ongoing programme, a monthly Youth group ride to a local café takes place on the first Saturday of each month, led by Paul.

We would like to welcome volunteers to join and support these rides as Youth membership grows. If you are interested in getting involved, please see the “Youth Zone” Page for contact details or contact the Membership Secretary, see details below.

For a safe and enjoyable experience, parental consent and a pre-ride assessment will be required.

We look forward to welcoming the next generation of enthusiastic cyclists to Swindon Wheelers.
