CYCLING AT THOCH

Our engaging, fresh thinking team provides a best in class service for our community. We thrive on finding the best possible opportunities for our community.

WHEELIO

The Wheelio cycling club is a little community of its own where people of all ages enjoy the outdoors and neighbourhood. Wheelio allows younger riders (3 – 5 yrs old) to develop their cycling skills early and also provides sufficient number of bikes for the 7 – 9 year olds who find the Carrera Luna’s & Carrera Subways as fantastic transition bikes.

THOCH set up Wheelio to try and increase activity levels of families in Childs Hill, predominantly focusing on individuals from lower socio-economic backgrounds. Childs Hill is made up of six social housing estates, all with high levels of deprivation and one-in-ten tenants with rent arrears over Β£1000.

Financial hardship impacts a significant number of the families here, who are vulnerable to issues such as physical inactivity, obesity and high rates of mortality from stroke.

Wheelio aims to tackle these issues by providing free bike and helmet hire which participants can then use for exercise, transport or leisure, therefore encouraging residents to be more active with their children. The project received funding from TfL’s Cycling Grants London scheme to provide the tools and volunteer support in order to help promote behavioural change.

MINI RIDERZ

This project is targeted at the 2.5 years – 8 years old group and aims to get more local young children cycling. It is also designed to address issues with families struggling with their finances and the non-availability of storage space for children’s bikes. 

In addition, Mini riderz assists in the development of healthy lifestyle habits for our younger residents.
