The Bike Club Consortium is a coalition of three organisations: UK Youth, ContinYou, and CTC. We are combining our knowledge of young people, learning and cycling to create Bike Club.
Bike Club aims to encourage young people to use cycling as a means of transport so they can take part in more activities beyond the school day, and discover the freedom cycling brings. It seeks to make cycling an important part of young people’s lives – as recreation, sport, exercise, a ‘green’ form of transport – and just for fun!
Bike Club achieves these aims through a wide range of cycling activities for children and young people, as well as for parents. These activities include everyone, like children and young people from black and minority ethnic groups (BME Groups), those from low-income families, and children and young people with disabilities or other additional needs. Bike Club empowers children, young people, parents, teachers and youth workers, volunteers, and others, to promote and implement cycling activities.
