Volunteer with us.
“Nobody can do everything, but everyone can do something!”
Farcycles is all about getting our community cycling – whether it's teaching children to ride, running inclusive group rides, fixing bikes in our shop, or hosting major cycling events.
Our volunteers are the lifeblood of everything we do. Without them, none of it would happen.
Whether you're looking to give something back, meet new people, or pick up new skills, volunteering with Farcycles is a great way to make a difference – and have a lot of fun along the way.
Find a Role That Fits You
You don’t need to be a cyclist (though many of us are). You just need a little time and the willingness to get involved.
Below are some of the ways you can help…
-
Balance Bike & Pedal Training
This is a rewarding experience working with a small group of children and playing a significant part in passing on an essential life skill. Smiles, whoops and the odd bump are all part of the session. We could really do with increasing the pool size of our helpers. Why not give up an hour of your time around mid- day on a Sunday, it really is great fun. Training provided.

Saturday Host for Blue and Green Rides
Our Blue and Green Saturday rides are designed to help new riders or those who have been off the bike for a while. The Blue 25-30 mile rides run all year, while the Green 15-20 mile rides run throughout the summer months. We are looking to build our pool of volunteers to host our Blue and Green rides on a monthly rota system. The main responsibilities for our ride hosts are to ensure that everyone stays together and no one gets left behind. Please get in touch if you can help. Training provided.
