British Cycling BMX Commission
The British Cycling BMX Commission monitors the sport of BMX in the UK and is co-ordinated by British Cycling's BMX Competition Administrator. The Commission gives feedback on issues as diverse as Facilities, Technical Regulations, Coaching, National and Regional level competition and International racing.
The British Cycling BMX Commission is comprised of a number of individuals experienced in the running and development of BMX. One member of the Commission is elected by fellow Commission members to act as Chairman for the purposes of meeting administration.
