About us
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.

📣 News: Renishaw celebrates Olympics success with British Cycling 🚴♀️ Track cycling is one of the fastest Olympic sports, with fractions of a second deciding who will take home a medal. 🏅 As a technical partner to British Cycling, we are delighted to celebrate Team GB's performance at the Olympic Games, bringing home 65 medals, including 11 in cycling, eight of which came from the track. To assist the riders who faced fierce competition at the Games, British Cycling's bike had to deliver maximum performance in speed, balance and aerodynamics. This made design and manufacturing capabilities, including metal additive manufacturing (3D printing), a critical part of the organisation's efforts to help Team GB maximise its medal haul. “We are delighted for British Cycling on another successful Olympic Games and to be able to play a part in this. It's a fantastic achievement and a great showcase of the benefits of additive manufacturing,” said Ben Collins, Lead Additive Manufacturing Applications Engineer at Renishaw.
