Our Story

Gear Up CC was launched back in 2017 when a group of us got together on Saturday mornings, as we had signed up for the 100 mile Sportive "Birmingham Velo", but had no way of training.  We soon realised through these training rides we loved cycling as a group and creating a welcoming, family culture on two wheels that wasn't often found at many other more exclusive, less accessible road cycle clubs.

Our group started to grow and many miles, laughs and punctures later, we now run two to three regular Saturday morning group rides, a Sunday ride and "Turbo Tuesday" evening rides over the summer. Why not come and join us.

Gear Up CC is more than just a Cycle Club. We are a community of cyclists passionate about cycling, community and connecting with each other.

New riders welcome, join us on strava and drop us an email to find out more! Weekly routes, groups and meet points will be published as Strava events on the club page. Please download the route in advance, so everyone knows where we are heading.

*Please note; we do not service or repair e-bikes that are not compliant with UK law. This is because non-compliant e-bikes are legally classed as motor vehicles, meaning they require type approval, registration, insurance, and a licensed rider to be used on public roads. Working on or modifying such bikes could make us liable for safety and legal issues, including potential breaches of vehicle and product regulations. To protect our customers and ensure we meet our legal and safety obligations, we only work on e-bikes that meet the UK’s Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle (EAPC) standards. This also applies for E-bike conversion kits, with the exception of officialy recognised brands such as Switch for example. Regardless of a booking made, you will be turned away upon arrival should your bike not adhere to this.

*We also reserve the right of refusal to work on on bikes that do not have at least two independently working brakes. This is the legal minimum required to ensure the rider can stop safely and maintain control of the bike. However if the brakes are to be installed/repaired to meet this standard as part of the booked service, this does not apply and will be more than happy to continue with repairs.
