Brilliant service
Brilliant service. Exactly the type of bike I needed with up to date bike specs and features.

The lads were very helpful after a failed online transaction. Bike was perfect and very well looked after. I hired for 2 hours which was enough for what we were doing.
I had a fantastic experience with Swinley Bike hire
I had a fantastic experience with Swinley Bike Hub. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and happy to help from the moment I arrived. They made the whole experience easy and enjoyable, and the bikes were in excellent condition—well maintained, comfortable, and great fun to ride.
The blue jumps track at Swinley Forest, Bracknell, was brilliant. It’s well designed, flows really well, and is perfect for building confidence while still being exciting and enjoyable. Whether you’re new to mountain biking or have plenty of experience, it’s a great place to ride.
I highly recommend Swinley Bike Hub to anyone looking for quality bike hire and outstanding customer service. I’ll definitely be coming back!
Fantastic day for my 8 year old
My son had an absolutely amazing day. He loved the ride out and then got to practice his jumps. He didn't know anyone but made new friends and wants to do it again.
Great fun!
Really easy pick up/drop off process, bike was as described and zero issues whatsoever.
The routes available range from Green to Red (with some pretty severe terrain to be found on Barossa, just don’t run over any squaddies!)
Overall well worth the money, will likely be back!
Friendly and helpful staff
Friendly and helpful staff. Got a puncture and they came out to swap the bike over so I could carry on with the trails
2-hour coaching session
We had a 2-hour coaching session with Tom for our 12-year-old son, and it was excellent. Tom was fantastic with him throughout the session. He made safety a priority, was really encouraging, and adapted his coaching to suit our son’s ability. Our son absolutely loved it and came away feeling much more confident.
Tom also gave us clear guidance on what to work on next, particularly cornering, and told us about the open riding sessions at The Summit, which sound like a great opportunity to put those skills into practice.
The only observation I’d make is that, for our son, two hours was quite intense and he was pretty tired by the end. That certainly wasn’t down to Tom—he was very responsive and would happily have let him take a break if needed. Looking back, I think an hour of coaching followed by an hour to independently practise and consolidate the skills he’d just learnt might work really well for children of a similar age.
Overall, we’d highly recommend Tom. He’s knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and brilliant at building both skills and confidence.
First time to Swinley Forrest
First time to Swinley Forrest - loved it!
A beautiful setting and a proper work out riding around the trails. I hadn't appreciated how physical it would be but it was great.
The bike hire and pick up was faultless. We will definitely go again. Thank you
Unbeatable Vibe & Epic Trails
We booked two session back to back at Swinley Summit last Friday! The boys loved every second on the trails and jumps. Fantastic music from the DJ, incredible mac and cheese from the food trailer to refuel, and an all-around top-tier vibe. We’ll definitely be back for more!

First coaching session
This was mine and my daughters first coaching session with Swinley Bike Hub and they were so helpful to ensure we had the right coach before booking. We had the absolute best session with Brendan, we both felt so comfortable and learnt how to feel more comfortable on our bikes and the trails. We both left with big smiles and keen to get straight back into the forest!
Amazing session at the Summit…
Amazing session at the Summit yesterday… despite the rest of the country sweltering … under the canopy of the trees the temperature was perfect for some gentle encouragement and tips from my favourite coach… making the next feature feel accessible and helping me stay active.

The park was not very well maintained and a almost outsider feeling as you got there as every who knew each other was not social at all
