About us

The Bike Hive is a community bike project, based in Alexandra Park, South Manchester, M16.  The project supports a growing number of people from across the local area to ride, recycle, build, repair and have fun with bikes.  We provide the equipment, resources and qualified cycle instructors and mechanics.  

We have a voluntary committee of dedicated local people who oversee the project and act as guardians of the group's mission and finances.  Anyone can become a member of the group and there is no cost or commitment required. 


Until January 2017 we were known as Whalley Range on Wheels.  Whalley Range on Wheels was set up in January 2015.   Our launch event took place in Alexandra Park on 1 March 2015. ​   We are an inclusive community cycling club and an affiliated member of Cycling UK, the national cycling charity (membership number 90085355).
