British Cycling is the national governing body for cycling as recognised by the UCI – the international federation for the sport. British Cycling works across all levels and six disciplines of the sport (BMX, Mountain Bike, Cyclo-Cross, Road, Track and Cycle Speedway), from providing the support and encouragement people need to get riding their bikes for the first time, to being home to the hugely successful Great Britain Cycling Team.
As part of the support to get people into cycling, British Cycling partners with local authorities and community organisations across the country to tackle inequalities and transform lives and communities through cycling. In our local area, British Cycling have a successful partnership with Tower Hamlets Council. This enables the employment of a Community Developer, Ella Burfitt, who works with local communities to deliver cycling and use it as a powerful tool for social change.
