Join Tower Hamlets Wheelers!
St Margaret’s House have hosted Tower Wheelers for many years for their monthly meetings.
Tower Hamlets Wheelers are a local cycling campaign group in the East End of London. Their main objectives are:
to encourage more people to cycle
improve conditions for cyclists
to raise the profile of cycling in the East End
This involves bringing the issues to the attention of the local council and other authorities. They also run cycling community projects and organise social rides and events to bring cyclists in the area together.
Tower Hamlets Wheelers is run by a committee and governed by a constitution and equal opportunities policy. Their group has been in existence for over 40 years and at present they have over 300 paid-up members as part of the London Cycling Campaign (LCC).
They are the local borough group affiliated to the LCC - with over 10,000 members it is the world's largest urban campaign group. Over 300 of those members live in Tower Hamlets. Membership of the LCC isn't compulsory to be able to take part in Wheelers' activities but they recommend it. The larger the LCC membership, the larger the voice of cycle users in London. The membership benefits alone (3rd-party insurance, access to theft insurance deals, magazine etc.) are easily worth the subscription. Visit the LCC website for further details - you can join online now!
The Wheelers hold regular meetings on the second Wednesday of every month at St Margaret’s House, where they plan what they’ll be up to. All are welcome and they are always looking for new volunteers to help out. Feel free to come along and share your cycling ideas.
The next sessions are:
Wednesday 11th March, 7.30-9pm
