British Human Power Club

The British Human Power Club was formed on 29 May 1983 to foster all aspects of human-powered vehicles for competitive, recreational and utility activities, and to stimulate innovation in HPVs.  

The club’s core activity is organising an inclusive and informal national race series for bikes that aren’t allowed to race elsewhere - so recumbents, hand-cycles, upright trikes,  other weird-stuff and even the occasional conventional bicycle.

Most members ride recumbents and velomobiles on a daily basis and are a fount of knowledge via our website, BHPC Forum and Facebook page.
