We want to see a future where cycling in Bristol and the surrounding areas is so easy that everyone does it – our communities will be happier, healthier, and greener.
Our volunteers and supporters work to create a vibrant and inclusive cycling culture, putting forward positive policy ideas and pressing for investment.
Together we set the agenda through our manifesto and campaigns; influence through partnerships, networking, representation and lobbying; and provide a strong voice for everyone who wants to cycle.
Whenever you ride your bike you help make cycling a normal, everyday activity. You can also help in lots of other ways and add your voice to over three thousand other supporters.

AGM and Mingle, Wednesday 31 October

That's what Bristol Cycling Campaign is all about, "a city where cycling is so easy that everyone does it". BCyC is made up of activists and volunteers who've chosen to act together to get things done and make a…

The out-going Chair, Eric Booth, explained that the formal Committee is now dissolved and that any member who is actively involved is a de facto ‘committee member’. Group co-ordinators gave updates…
