Cycling UK in Wales

Cycling UK in Wales works with supporters, campaigners and partners to advocate for cycling across the nation and influences local and national government to deliver on active travel. In Wales, we have an Active Travel Act and we’re working with stakeholders to influence local and national governments to improve cycle infrastructure and enable more people to cycle. Cycling UK members in Wales are actively involved in local and national campaigning, and also organise rides, tours, events and training through member groups. We run the highly successful Welsh Festival of Cycling once a year, every year, bringing together members of Cycling UK from across the country.
