Station Growers Volunteering
February 26, 2026
We hope that you are finding your way into 2026 nicely and although we are fully amidst the ‘dregs of winter’ now, we like to think there’s sniffs of spring with slightly elongated days and surfacing of much welcome snow drops on our rides!
This month we are leaping with joy at some really exciting events on the approach that we have been busy programming together, but first let’s enjoy a couple of pics from both on and off the saddle from our Yellow, Blue and Pink riders of the cycling club.
A local primary school come for an explore on the FLoop + a visit to the Bike Station!
Some of our Yellow riders in an in-depth bike maintenance course on our ‘closed to the public’ Monday
One of our amazing Pink riders tackles the final Cyclo Cross of the season – in the sunshine!
Some of our Blue riders battling the February chills and enjoying a socially paced 40km ride together
From free Velodrome and BMX taster sessions, to iconic film screenings, to an incredible women’s cycling art exhibition right here at Station South, to rides for different abilities 𝒂𝒏𝒅 a free bike maintenance series thrown in for good measure. The Bike Station and Bee Pedal Ready has all of your women’s cycling activities covered for International Women’s Day 2026!
Check out this monstrous [not so mini] timetable of fun to be had this March.
To book yourself on, follow the info by each activity. See below for a few direct booking links 🙂
Join SSCC for some special femmes rides on Sunday 8th March
Join us for an extra special evening with Valerio Stuart : Local cyclist, SSCC ride leader and bikepacker, Valerio will share the story of his bikepacking trip through the Atlas Mountains of Morocco – complete with a special film screening and Q+A session. The event was originally planned for our Viewing Platform space but sold out in a few days, so we are spreading into the main hall – grab the bonus tickets whilst you still can!

Welcoming our amazing and lovely new mechanic Dave, who will work alongside the magnificent Mary in the workshop. Watch this space for an array of fix up workshops of different varieties as we roll towards Spring – from clinics, casual drop-ins and more in depth masterclasses to empower y’all to keep your bikes healthy and wheels rotating.
A quick heads up from mechanic Mary “Happy February everyone. Watch this space, because over the next couple of weeks Dave and I will be having a sale of some of our stock. We’re talking tools, bags and panniers and some other goodies.”
See you next time, cycle safe 🙂
