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.

November '25 Stop Press:
At the end of October a good number of Swans met at Louis' Pizza in Buckingham for a Club social. Perfect fuel for the social ride the following day, but given the amount of pizza consumed it was probably a good thing that the ride was actually cancelled due to poor weather!
Unfortunately this was to be the last Club event organised by Liz Treadaway as Social Secretary, although Liz will be staying on as a Committee member. Thanks Liz for all you've done for the social side of the Club.
And Club Secretary Melanie Peirce has also left the Committee due to other commitments. Thanks Mel for keeping us in order during and after our meetings.
So....your Club is now looking for a Club Secretary and a Social Secretary. If you feel you can help the Club and take on one of these roles, or would like more information then please talk to any of the Committee members.

As we near the end of Autumn, Swans have been making the most of the unusually high temperatures and decent conditions and getting out on Club rides in large numbers. Since the start of April Swans have ridden almost 40,000 miles across 130 organised rides!
But of course, this wouldn't happen without our Ride Leaders who help to get us all out on our bikes midweek and at weekends.
Your Club is dependant on Ride Leaders, and we always need more volunteers to help spread the load, so if you feel you could help the Club by leading rides please let Mark Roberts know and we'll pencil you in for the next RL Workshop. 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 and we'll add it to our library.
