British Cycling Launches "Race" & "Ride" Membership Packages

25 June 2010

British Cycling's new ‘Ride' and ‘Race' membership packages look set to bring great benefits to anyone who rides a bike, from Sky Ride participants to Olympic gold medallists.

With the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games on the horizon, Team Sky's debut in professional road racing, a growing calendar of sportive and competitive events and the nationwide Sky Ride programme creating thousands of new cycling opportunities, Britain's appetite for the sport has never been higher.

Ride membership is designed for commuters, recreational cyclists and charity and sportive riders, with benefits ranging from unbeatable retail discounts[1] and legal support to peace-of-mind insurance protection in the event of an accident[2]. For just £24 a year, Ride members can also rely on expert advice from the British Cycling team. Join Now!

So why not become part of Britain's most exciting sport and enjoy the same perks as Bradley Wiggins, Sir Chris Hoy or Victoria Pendleton, from cheap bike insurance to peace-of-mind protection from the same legal team that looks after the nation's top riders.

Whether you cycle for fun, commute to work by bike or get a thrill from sportive rides or racing, as a British Cycling ‘Race' or ‘Ride' member you will find cycling easier, safer, more fun and be part of an organisation that has created the world's most formidable riders.

Jonny Clay, British Cycling's Cycle Sport and Membership Director, said:

"We have launched ‘Ride' and ‘Race' packages because we want every cyclist to make the most of the time they spend on their bike, whatever their age and ability. As well as offering great discounts and legal advice, we offer our members access to a wealth of cycling expertise, useful tips, latest news and practical information from how to find a local cycling club to preparing for your first race.

"British Cycling members also directly support the nation's most successful Olympic and Paralympic sport, as membership fees are reinvested into cycling to pay for the development of coaches, the training of volunteers and over 3,000 cycling events each year. We already have over 30,000 members and now you too can be part of Britain's most exciting sport. Join the team today, however you ride your bike."
