Cycling UK
Non-profit Organizations
The UK's cycling charity, enabling and inspiring more people to cycle more often since 1878.
About us
We are Cycling UK. We are the oldest, national cycling charity and have been looking after cyclists since 1878. Throughout the years we've championed a simple belief - that cycling is a wonderful gift that should remain accessible and available to all. Today we remain the nation’s voice for cycling and the strongest force for progressive change. Our vision is of a happier, healthier and cleaner world because more people cycle. We encourage all types of cycling, on and off road. We support you if you already ride, or would like to ride, to work or school, for health, touring, sport and leisure – or just because it’s fun. We’ve been working for cycling for over a century. Nationally and locally, we use our knowledge to influence decision makers, campaign for change and help people discover how cycling can change lives. ■We support individuals and communities. ■We protect cyclists’ interests. ■We campaign to make cycling mainstream and to remove the things that stop people cycling. ■We help people develop the confidence and skills to cycle. ■We promote the benefits of cycling to individuals, to society and to the economy. Cycling UK is a charity, and relies on members, volunteers, grant funders and partners for support. Without them, we would not be able to do our vital work in communities inspiring hundreds of thousands of people across the UK to cycle.

🚵♂️ Ever thought about cycling the Rhine Cycle Route? It’s usually downhill all the way – unless, like Cycling UK member Andy, you tackle it in reverse. That’s why he travelled light! Andy, a long-time solo cyclist, had always loved long-distance trips, but after years of tandem rides with his wife, he decided to take on a personal challenge: cycling up the River Rhine solo. At around 855 miles, it’s not something for the faint of heart, but perfect for an adventurous rider. Starting in the Swiss Alps and weaving through six countries, the route typically follows EuroVelo 15. But Andy chose to go uphill for a mountain-top finish. 🔗 Check out his story for some serious inspiration: https://lnkd.in/eRzSDsu9
