The Handlebar Cafe, now operated by Cadence Cycle Club, is a unique and award-winning community café and bike workshop located on Garnier Road at the foot of St Catherine's Hill and the Viaduct Way cycle path in Winchester. Conceived by local teenagers through the SPUD Youth program, the building's distinct architecture resembles two railway carriages to reflect the site's history as an old railway line. It serves as a popular hub for cyclists and walkers, offering locally-sourced food, specialty coffee, and essential bike repair services, all within a welcoming, dog-friendly environment that provides lovely views over the Itchen Valley.
