HUB Cycling is proud to produce ‘Spoke Up! Let’s Talk Bikes’, a speaker event in celebration of HUB Cycling’s 20th anniversary. We've curated some of the most inspiring, influential and extraordinary members of the bike community to share their stories with us.

Join us for a night of inspiration. Our storytellers will tell you how they have overcome their challenges in life and how cycling has impacted their lives. These changemakers who dedicate their lives to inspire those who may have fallen ill from chronic illnesses, battle mental health challenges, and live with visual impairment but found an outlet in taking charge of their health and healing through cycling.
