Cycling UK’s views and briefings

We have produced a range of accessible briefings that outline Cycling UK's formal views on the issues that matter. They comprise quick key facts and more detailed arguments and background information.  

Working with others

If there don’t seem to be many other cycling campaigners in your area it’s worth remembering that many other people and organisations have overlapping interests and goals, without thinking of themselves as cycling campaigners!

There will be people passionate about environmental issues, pedestrian access and safety, road safety, disability and inclusive access, air quality and parents concerned about safe to school – to name just a few.

We may not be able to align ourselves with every single issue they campaign on, but they may also support local campaigning and activity in your area.
