What is Bike Club?

ContinYou, UK Youth and and the CTC - the national cyclists' organisation, are setting up bike clubs in cluster groups across England this summer. Funded by Cycling England and the Department for Transport over two years, Bike Club is an inspirational programme that builds cycling into the everyday lives of children and young people.

Cycling is not only about getting from A to B. It is about independence, health and well being, fun and adventure. This programme will build on young people’s needs and passions and is a safe and sustainable tool for engaging young people and opening up new opportunities.
Bike Club’s main aims are to:

  • encourage young people to use cycling as a means of transport so they can take part in more activities beyond the school day
  • make cycling an important part of young people’s lives – as recreation, sport, exercise, a ‘green’ form of transport – and just for fun!
  • help children and young people to discover the freedom that cycling brings
 

How does Bike Club do this?

A wide range of cycling activities for children and young people, as well as for parents.
 
Cycling activities that include everyone, like children and young people from black and minority ethnic groups (BME groups), those from low-income families, and children and young people with disabilities or other additional needs.
Tackling parents’ concerns about letting their children cycle
Empowering children, young people, parents, teachers, youth workers, volunteers and others to promote and implement cycling activities
