Welcome

Life Cycle UK is a unique charity that helps people take up cycling. Cycling is an environmentally-friendly activity that puts people in touch with each other and with the areas where they live. As a form of exercise it is almost perfect, providing a gentle workout for both body and mind. Most importantly, over short distances, cycling is a practical form of transport that allows people to reach employment, education and healthcare. Our belief is that people want to cycle but are held back by lack of knowledge, concerns about safety or simply by being unsure of how to begin. Overcome those obstacles and people will take to their bikes and enjoy the benefits.

Life Cycle UK aims to inspire people and to equip them with the skills, the knowledge and the confidence to make cycling part of their everyday lives. We run practical activities such as cycle training, we organise awareness-raising events, we provide help with bike maintenance, we provide cycle maps and other literature, and we organise conferences and seminars.  Download a copy of our latest Annual Report [PDF] to read more about Life Cycle UK.

Of all our activities cycle training is one of the most important. Life Cycle UK trains children, teenagers and adults, teaching them to ride safely and skilfully. Forget the old-fashioned Cycling Proficiency Test – our style of training is lively and enjoyable and tailored to modern needs! All Life Cycle courses meet the Government-approved National Standards for Cycle Training.
