Webinar: Decarbonising transport - the role of cycling

We understand that cycling is part of the solution to many social and environmental challenges - including climate change - but we often do not necessarily appreciate either the scale of the potential benefits, or how to realise them. This webinar will explore how cycling infrastructure, combined with measures to significantly reduce emissions, can provide an effective transport solution in our towns and cities. 

Webinar: Making sure cycling becomes part of the new normal

What we’ve learned from the global pandemic is where there’s political will and a sense of urgency, great things can be done quickly. We’re at a crossroads where more and more people want to cycle for leisure, health and everyday travel, and our panel of experts will discuss what practical measures we can take in our localities to ensure a cycling culture is sustained.

Watch again: Introducing King Alfred's Way

During a live discussion with host Anna Glowinski in September, we discussed how King Alfred’s Way came about from Cycling UK’s Sophie Gordon, while also getting the impressions from the route’s first riders Stef Amato from Pannier.cc, Katherine Moore one half of the voices behind the Unpaved Podcast, and KAW guide writer and mountain bike test, Guy Kesteven.

King Alfred’s Way is the latest long distance off-road bike packing trail put together by Cycling UK and launched in the summer of 2020. 

Cycling and the Covid crisis: how to keep your group riding safely

Cycling UK is inviting everyone who cycles in a group or club in Scotland to join us for an online informal discussion event.

At this time of year it's more important than ever to get outside for exercise and fresh air, to maintain good mental and physical health. We understand that some groups and clubs have cancelled their runs programme due to the coronavirus crisis and we'd like to help.

Watch again: An audience with... Alex Dowsett

During lockdown we ran a series of An Audience With...cycling superstars and you can watch the first of the series again. In this interview we were joined by British road-racing legend Alex Dowsett!

He was chatting to our very own Anna Glowinksi (virtually of course) about his longstanding career, his weight loss and surviving lockdown. We're delighted that Alex's girlfriend, Chanel, also sat down with us and to let us in on life living with a pro, as well as how she discovered a love of cycling herself. 

Watch again: Break the Cycle Christmas Games

Watch again: Cycling UK and special guests had some festive fun and games in aid of our Christmas fundraising appeal. Expect plenty of funny stories and laughs, prizes and giveaways, and it will all be in aid of our charitable work.

We had plenty of games and quizzes for our guests, as we pitted them against each other to see which team comes out on top. You will be able to play along at home if you wish, or you can just sit back with a drink and enjoy the entertainment.
