Who we are
We are Swan Wheelers, Buckingham's revived historic cycling club. We're definitely not an elitist cycling club, we're a bunch of people who enjoy riding their bikes. Whether you do that on a road bike or a hybrid, whether you wear lycra or not, whether you wear our club kit or your own gear, if you ride faster or slower.... it doesn't matter as long as you want to ride.
If you're not a member yet and and not sure if a club is for you then you are welcome try us out. We run three different ride groups and you can join us on up to three rides before you would be asked to join the club. If you're not sure what to expect please take a look at our guide to your first club ride and then choose a ride from the calendar or get in touch.

February '26 Stop Press:
As the temperatures begin to rise a little, unfortunately the water levels are rising even faster and some of our cycling routes feel more suited to the many 'wild swimmers' amongst our membership! However, our eagle-eyed Swans continue to spot the rare pockets of decent weather and are getting out in numbers when we can (17 on our last Midweek ride!) Since the start of April Swans have ridden over 47,000 miles across 170 organised rides, and visited 55 different cafes!
Our first Committee meeting of the year was full of enthusiasm for the forthcoming year, with lots of discussion on Club trips, a track day and a breakfast ride. And we'll even be offering a generous discount on Club kit. Please look out for details over the next few months.
Coming up soon...
Swan Wheelers will be joining with Winslow Wheelers to celebrate International Women's Day on Sunday 8th March, and organising a range of rides starting from Phoenix Kitchen, Middle Claydon. See the forum or speak to Elaine Evans, Kirsty Corcoran or Katie Robson for more details.
After a group of Swans enjoyed a trip to (Buckingham twin Town) Mouvaux Cycling Club in June last year, The Club now looks forward to welcoming cyclistes back to Buckingham from 8th - 10th May this year. We'll give more details in a Club newsletter out this month.
But of course, none of this would happen without our Committee and wonderful Ride Leaders who help to get us all out on our bikes midweek and at weekends....
Your Club is currently looking for a Club Secretary. If you feel you can help and take on this important role, or would like more information then please talk to any of the Committee members.
And we always need more volunteers to help spread the load of ride leading, so if you feel you could help the Club by becoming a Ride Leader please let Mark Roberts know and we'll pencil you in for the next RL Workshop which will be running soon. I know we have a few riders expressing interest, which is great and we'll give you all the help you need.
Looking for inspiration for a route? Check out the Café Map and Route Library from the drop down menu on the RIDES page - over 130 routes now available. Please let Mark know if you have found a particularly good route or a new cafe, and we'll add them in.

No such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes and...
Winter miles, Summer smiles!
