Thanks for visiting the Cycletastic web pages and if you have visited us before you most likely will have noticed things have changed. We are now using a much better interface which which allows us to get updates onto the site much quicker. This means we can let you know exactly when our cycling services are available to you.
We hope you like the re-design and please keep checking back as we keep tweaking it and adding more information about the Cycletastic project.
Cycletastic volunteers are opening the bike shed on Saturday 4th September to fix up and repair bikes we have been donated. We hope to have some of these bikes available for hire or loan to local residents that would like to go to Skyride on Sunday. If you have any minor repairs required on your cycle we may also be able to help.
Bike Shed, off Streatley Road (Willesden Lane end) 9am-5pm.
SKYRIDE on Sunday – due to limited interest in previous years Cycletastic will not be leading a group to the start of skyride this year. Please check with Brent Cyclists for more information on getting to the Skyride from Brent.

The Mayor of London’s Skyride (formally Freewheel) will return to the streets again this September. This is the best experience you can have for cycling in London, join over 65,000 cyclists on traffic free streets.

Cycletastic will be there so watch this space for more information on how you can join us. You can also subscribe to this website for updates or join the cycletastic community on our googlegroup.
Thanks to everyone that has donated us bikes through the Summer. This has created a small backlog of bikes to fix but this one is certainly ready to go. If you are interested in purchasing this bike please email chris@cycletastic.org.uk

So far Cycletastic has had a highly productive year and as the Summer holidays are now underway it’s time for an update to let you know what we plan to offer for the rest of 2010.
After all our activities through May, June and July we will be now be focusing on reconditioning and recycling the donated cycles we receive and also offering bike maintenence from our bike shed. We hope to have the shed manned and available to all as much as possible throughout the holidays. You can visit and borrow our tools and chat to our volunteers about maintaining your bike and cycling in our local area.
We have a number of used spares available for a donation and also new parts as well.
Please keep an eye on our website for updates of when the shed will be open. We also hope to post a schedule in the near future. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer with cycletastic then please do get in touch.
This has to be Cycletastic’s busiest year to date. We have supported Brent LCC, QPCS School and the OK Club in South Kilburn with providing maintenance sessions. We also have organised our own Dr Bikes at 4 locations and held a offered a successful try-a-bike service at Kilburn Square.
Closer ties have been developed with the local Transition group Kensal to Kilburn.
We have installed a shipping container for use as a bike shed just of Willesden Lane and initial openings have been popular. it is also invaluable for storing tools and spare parts as well as all the donated cycles we will fix and rehome with local residents.
We are now moving into the school summer holidays so watch this space for more info on what’s coming next.
In this fast paced society a picture can tell a thousand works and we would like your pictures for our galleries. If you were at one of our events and have any good pictures to share that clearly show how our project works then please email them to us using the address at the bottom of the page.
Cycletastic will once again be attending the Kilburn Festival with our incredibly popular Dr Bike. If you have a cycle in need of a bit of TLC or you would like us to show you the basics in bike maintainence then dig out your cycle and come along. Whether you have a flat tyre or a rusty chain we’ll try our best to help you out. If we can’t help you on the day or you can’t attend we now have a Bike Shed based in Kilburn either leave your details on the day or send us an email and we’ll try to arrange a time that one of our fixers can meet you at the bike shed.
