Get your bikes summer ready, with the DENS Bike Project

To celebrate Bike Week (9th–15th June 2025), Hemel Garden Communities has teamed up with DENS Bike Project to give people the chance to win a voucher towards a bike service, repairs or bike purchase from DENS Bike Project. There will be one chance to win a £100 voucher, with five £50 and fifteen £25 vouchers given away over across five weeks. It’s the perfect opportunity to get your bike into tip top shape and enjoy more cycling this summer.

Bike Week shines a spotlight on the many ways cycling benefits us all - from boosting health and wellbeing to cutting carbon emissions and creating more connected communities. It’s a week to celebrate the simple joy of getting on a bike and to inspire others to give it a go.

Encouraging more walking and cycling is central to Hemel Garden Communities' Transport Vision and Strategy, ensuring that active travel is a priority not just in new neighbourhoods within the programme area, but across the existing town of Hemel Hempstead as well.

DENS Bike Project, which is based in Gadebridge, Hemel Hempstead provides opportunities for DENS clients to learn bike maintenance skills and build their confidence in a supportive environment.

Under the supervision of the Bike Project staff, clients learn to refurbish bikes that have been donated to DENS, which they then sell to help fund the project. Each participant gets to keep a bike they have worked on. The Bike Project also offers bike repairs and a wide range of bike servicing options.
