Becoming a member of a recognised or affiliated cycle club or organisation can be very useful.
Most memberships offer 3rd party liability insurance and a range of upgrades. Annual subs tend to be around £30 -£70 a year and the money is re-invested into promoting and campaigning for cycling improvements and infrastructure.
British Cycling
British Cycling is one of the world’s leading national governing bodies. It supports grass roots competitive cycling in Britain. They offer a range of memberships from commuter to race licences as well as information on local rides and cycling organisations through their Lets Ride initiative.
We organise everything from huge traffic-free bike rides through major towns and cities, to small local rides which are great for families and beginners. We train volunteers to lead and inspire rides all over the country. And we help you find great cycling routes and people to explore them with.
