Pedal Ready Competitors

British Cycling is the national governing body for cycling as recognised by the UCI – the international federation for the sport. Based in Manchester at the National Cycling Centre, British Cycling works across all levels and six disciplines of the sport (BMX, Mountain Bike, Cyclo-Cross, Road, Track and Cycle Speedway), from providing the support and encouragement people need to get riding their bikes for the first time, to being home to the hugely successful Great Britain Cycling Team. Continued success at the highest level is inspiring a boom in participation across the nation. There have never been more opportunities to ride a bike, be it for fun or sport, and British Cycling is at the heart of this growth. British Cycling also works hard to represent cyclists’ interests at all levels, including campaigning on important issues including road safety. As a membership organisation, British Cycling provides a suite of benefits and support to its members who currently number 130,000. All membership revenue is invested back into cycling.

WHO WE ARE The London Cycling Campaign (LCC) represents the interests of those who cycle in the capital and those who want to. Member-led, we have 20,000 supporters of whom 12,000 are paying members. Our vision for London is a city where people of all ages and abilities can cycle safely and enjoyably, and we believe that making cycling the number one transport choice for everyday local journeys will generate immense quality of life, environmental, health and economic benefits for everyone. We campaign for London’s political leaders and decision-makers to remove the barriers that prevent people benefiting from the freedom and convenience that cycling brings, including by developing and proposing our own innovative solutions. We also work in partnership with businesses, local authorities, community groups, schools and other institutions to directly promote cycling at the grass roots and across all London’s communities. OUR VISION Our vision is to transform our city into a healthier, greener and happier place to live, where anyone who wants to cycle can do so safely and enjoyably.
