Chatham Street Community Cycling Hub

A welcoming neighbourhood space for BD3, Peel Park and City Ward — created in partnership with InCommunities.

Chatham Street is a former community centre now being brought back into use as a cycling‑friendly community hub. We’re in the early stages of developing the venue, working with local residents and partners to shape a space for learning, riding, repairing, sharing food and building connections. As the project grows, more evening activities and community events will be added — watch this space.

What We’re Working On

Current Projects:

  • E‑Bike Library — free e‑bike loans available from Chatham Street, supporting everyday cycling, wellbeing and low‑cost travel.  Get 1:1 support with cycling training.
  • Hop‑On Partnership — a local cycling organisation delivering regular sessions at Peel Park, helping families and young people build confidence on bikes. Visit Hop‑On: hopon.bike
  • Wednesday open evenings — relaxed drop‑ins with bike maintenance, food and social activities.

Alongside these, we’re developing a wider programme of community‑led activities, small projects and social events that will roll out over the coming months.

What Happens Here

  • Cycling information — adult lessons, family cycling, group rides and basic repairs.
  • Community events — film nights, talks, cultural activities and small community projects.
  • A meeting space for local groups (bookable to members, and so far used by BMX Bandits and more)
  • Local partnerships — including working with Hop‑On, inspired by Bradford Moor PASS and supported by WYCA and Bradford Council’s Active Travel teams.

Why It Matters

We want Chatham Street to become a friendly, accessible space where cycling supports health, confidence, connection and sustainable travel. It’s a growing hub for residents, families and local organisations — and a place where new ideas can take shape.

Get Involved

Drop into an open evening, join a ride, borrow an e‑bike, volunteer or partner with us — everyone’s welcome.  E-mail: Maleehah@capitalofcycling.org for more information.
