Reopened in January 2018 as a cyclist and rambler friendly pub after major refurbishment and renaming. Now a free house. There is a secure bike lock-up and a basic toolkit is available if needed (there's also a good bike shop nearby). They aim to provide a warm, cosy environment and specialise in local ales. Coffee, wine, tea and simple food are also available. Important note: The Cyclist is totally cash-free. So you will need a card to pay for food and drinks. Food Available Monday to Friday lunch time and Sunday lunch. Beers sold on draught (in rotation) - they currently are from: Colchester Brewery, Mauldons Brewery, Nethergate Brewery, Green Jack Brewery, Earl Soham Brewery, Cliff Quay Brewery, Duvel Moortgat.
