Process for amending the Technical Regulations
The following process has been created for updating the Technical Regulations going forward:
- Suggestions may be sent in at any time by completing the Member Survey or by email to techregs@britishcycling.org.uk.
- The Member Survey will be publicised annually in January/February. Communications will go out to: clubs, team managers, event organisers, commissaires and to members of the Federation Commission.
- Competition Officers to review suggestions and UCI regulations to check for amendments that may apply to the Technical Regulations.
- Discipline Commission meetings shall take place from March onwards – they will be asked to review proposed changes to Technical Regulations (including Scottish and Welsh commissions); this will be a standing item on their agendas.
- Technical Commission to review proposed amendments in July.
- Updates to the Technical Regulations to be drafted, ready for next Discipline Commission meetings in September.
- Technical Commission (or Board, if necessary) to meet and approve any changes – usually October.
- Handbook goes to print in December.
Please note that the 2023 Regulations will continue to be adhered to until the end of February 2024, unless stated otherwise.
