Island Bikes: Fitness for all

Island Bikes: Fitness for All

Island Bikes CIC is a community-driven social enterprise that began in Stratford in 2022. What started as a small bike repair shop and cycling club has grown into a hub for fitness, wellbeing, and sustainable travel. Over the last four years, we’ve supported thousands of Newham residents through affordable bike servicing, guided rides, spin classes, and community events.

We are now bringing our work to Green Street to make fitness and cycling more accessible for residents who may face barriers such as cost, travel, or confidence. By delivering activities directly in the heart of the neighbourhood, we aim to reduce those barriers and create inclusive spaces where everyone feels welcome.

The programme includes:

• Spin Classes – mobile 10-bike sessions, beginner-friendly and supportive, run regularly at Green Street Community Hall.
• Group Cycling Rides & Clubs – encouraging active travel, confidence, and outdoor fitness.
• Workshops – “how to cycle” sessions and basic bike repair, led by our in-house mechanics.
• Wellbeing Classes – occasional yoga, body pump, or pilates depending on local demand.

Our outcomes and goals:

• Improve physical fitness and mental wellbeing.
• Reduce isolation and strengthen community connections.
• Provide cycling and maintenance skills for everyday use.
• Encourage long-term, sustainable, active lifestyles.

By removing barriers such as cost, travel, and confidence, Island Bikes: Fitness for All will make Green Street a centre of health, activity, and community pride.
