Why Join?

Kendal Cycle Club is a British Cycling registered Go-Ride club with Clubmark accreditation which means the club can access external funding for club activities. Go-Ride is British Cycling’s development programme for young people. The programme provides a fun and safe way to introduce young riders to the world of cycle sport and provides a platform to improve bike handling skills and gain confidence on the road.

There are also  financial benefits to members when joining the club, including: reduced British Cycling membership and discounts at local bike shops, cafes and bike related services.

As well as getting more people cycling, the club gives cyclists a voice in cycling related matters within the town. Kendal Cycle Club is part of Kendal Cycle Forum which is a community group representing cycling interests throughout South Lakeland. The group includes Councillors and Officers, of Cumbria County Council and South Lakeland District Council and it provides a forum for constructive discussion on cycling matters. Most recently, the Cycle Forum has worked with the Council on spending £2.3 million of Local Government Funding in encouraging more cycling within Kendal.

Finally, joining a club is a great way to get the most out of your cycling and to meet new people. Whether you are a seasoned racer or a complete beginner, there is nothing better than riding with like-minded cyclists to develop your skills and challenge yourself.
