About us
Bristol Cycling Campaign is for all those who 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.
We are a membership group entirely run by volunteers and supporters (Constitution). We 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 cycling 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.

While you're listening…

2018 AGM (and Mingle)
In planning for the evening, we had agreed to keep formal business brief, allowing more time for a Mingle we had promoted on social media and in member emails. The out-going Treasurer, Benn Woodward, took ByC members through the accounts. And we approved them.
