About the company

Avanti Cycling was founded and is managed by Greg Woodford. Why ‘Avanti’? Well, Greg lived in Italy for several years and speaks Italian. Avanti is Italian for forward. Cycling is the way forward!

Greg is a very keen cyclist and racing cyclist. Although he trains and races hard, when it fits in with managing a successful company, he completely believes that cycling should be a normal activity.

Cycling is normal, everyone can do it, whether it is a fun ride down the river, or a commute to work. No special clothing or equipment required. Just get out there and do it – Avanti Cycling is here to facilitate that for you.

Avanti Cycling is a leading cycle training provider in the South of England.

We also provide event support, training camps and cycling holidays through our partner organisation Avanti Adventures, professional development for other organisations, green transport events and consultancy, among other things.
