About this facility

Redbridge Cycling Centre is the perfect place to get pedalling whether you’re riding for fun, fitness, or the thrill of competition. With a purpose built road, BMX, and off road tracks, plus a wide selection of hire bikes, there’s something for every rider. Our expert coaches are on hand to help you build confidence, sharpen your skills, or even learn to ride from scratch. We run coaching sessions for individuals, schools, and holiday courses too.

Cycle helmets must be worn at all times when on the circuit.

We no longer accept cash payments at Redbridge Cycling Centre. All payments in person will need to be via card or ApplePay.

The last entry for the cycling tracks is 4pm. The last bike hire is 3pm.

Bike hire is only available when we do not have track bookings/events on (see upcoming track bookings below).

Redbridge Cycling Centre is closed on Mondays and Fridays, except when organised events and functions are taking place at the centre. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Useful Information

Track use will be limited to a maximum of 2 hours.

  • On the road circuit we will require rides to keep to the left hand side of the track and only overtake on the right side of the track allowing a gap of at least 2 metres. On the mountain bike track overtaking is not permitted except on wider areas where it is safe to do so.
  • Allow sufficient time and space to riders in front of you and after overtaking do not ‘cut back’ in front of the rider.
  • Be considerate of other riders especially younger riders or less experienced riders. STAY ALERT – STAY SAFE
  • Users of the Centre should ride within your ability, don’t try difficult skills or ride too fast.
