Our Story

TWR started in 2020 with bikes and a belief: that movement changes everything.

Founder Wayne Francis discovered this truth personally — struggling with mental and physical health, he found that regular cycling didn't just improve his fitness. It transformed his entire outlook. But more importantly, he realized this transformation was exponentially more powerful when experienced in community.

What began as cycling sessions quickly revealed something deeper: people weren't just showing up for the exercise. They were showing up for connection, accountability, mental health support, and a sense of belonging. We had members whose blood pressure stabilized, whose anxiety decreased, whose confidence grew. But they all said the same thing: "It's not just the cycling — it's the community."
So we're evolving.

What We Do Now

TWR is a health and wellness community that uses active lifestyle as our foundation. Cycling remains core to who we are — it's accessible, it's social, it's powerful. But we're expanding to include walking groups, wellness workshops, mental health support, and community-building activities that recognise health is holistic.

 We focus on: 

Mental Wellbeing: Creating space for connection, reducing isolation, and supporting mental health through movement
Physical Health: Making active lifestyles accessible and sustainable for all ages and abilities

Community Building: Breaking down barriers and building diverse, inclusive spaces where everyone belongs

Social Impact: Partnering with organisations to deliver wellness benefits to underserved communities

Who We Serve

Everyone. Seriously. Whether you're 8 or 80, whether you're dealing with health challenges or training for your next big goal, whether you're new to London or born here — if you're looking to improve your wellbeing through movement and community, you're our people.
We're particularly committed to representation and access for communities that have historically been excluded from wellness spaces. Because everyone deserves to feel good in their body and connected to their community.

Our Impact
Since 2020, we've grown from informal lockdown rides to one of London's most diverse active wellness communities, serving  members across 29 boroughs. Through partnerships with sports facilities and community organisations, we've delivered free youth programs, created accessible adult wellness activities, and proven that health infrastructure works when it's built by and for the communities it serves.

Looking Forward 
We're building something that lasts. A community where active lifestyle isn't about aesthetics or competition (unless that's your thing), but about feeling better, connecting deeper, and living fuller. Where movement is medicine, community is healing, and showing up is enough. 

Join us. Let's ride, walk, move, and grow together.
