Meet the Team
For over 20 year we have been providing our fun and safe cycling activities around Manchester.
We host our track-based cycling sessions 6 days a week at 3 different parks on the athletic tracks, as well as our group rides 3 days a week. Our small team of staff and volunteers are trained to the highest standards and are always happy to help and assist with any cycling needs you may have. Our fleet of bikes means we will always have something for you to ride, weather that a 2 wheeled road or mountain bike or 1 of our selection of adapted bikes for those who require a little extra help. We have bike for you. We are proud to offer an activity that is open to all and prides itself on the inclusivity we offer.
Core Team
Helen Hines
“Hi, I’m Helen and I oversee Simply Cycling; I have numerous years of experience supporting people with additional needs. Having fun and keeping kit is my passion!! Apart from achieving this at work you can find me on the tennis or netball courts or in the gym.”
James Gell
“Hi I’m James, What I love about SimplyCycling is that it’s a shared space where people from all different walks of life come together and have fun riding on our bikes.”
Charlie Scott
“You’ll know me from Wythenshawe where I spend most of my time, although you will see me from time to time at each track. If I am not in my kitchen cooking up a storm im out on my bike usually doing something silly.”
Natham Grime
“Nathan here, I’m the quiet one who fixes things without you ever knowing I have done it. If you need to know anything about everything, I am your guy. When not fixing things or assisting our customers you will find me hanging off a rock somewhere as I am an avid climber. “
Volunteers
It would be almost impossible for us at Simply Cycling to deliver our fun filled activities without the help of our amazing volunteers. For 20 years they have helped support our team in all day-to-day activities that allow us to deliver to you the safest, most fun and above all accessible activity in Manchester. You will get to know our amazing volunteers from either track side days or if you have joined one of our led rides. our 20 dedicated team are essential to the continued success of Simply Cycling. If you attend our tracks, you will know the amazing work that Geoff, John, Lin, Heather, Purple Dave, Steve, and Isobel do for us. If you attend our ride outs, you will know that Steve, Purple Dave, and Jane are invaluable to these ensuring the safety of our customers whilst out developing skill both on and off the bikes. With our 3 sites having so many bikes the task of keeping those wheels turning is a big one. If Colin, Mark, Peter, and Phil were not available to us we would have no bikes for people to ride. All our volunteers add to the successful running of our activities and we eternal grateful to them all.
