What’s the cost?

There’s no cost to take part – your place is fully funded by Cycling UK as part of The Big Bike Revival programme.

How we’ll contact you

Only the event organiser and Cycling UK will email you, and for limited reasons.

As you might expect, you’ll receive event reminders and relevant event information. In the weeks after the event, you’ll also be sent two short surveys and four emails with tips to keep you cycling. That’s it.

In return for providing FREE events, surveys help Cycling UK evaluate your experience and they help us access future funding. Your details are safe and you can opt out at any time. For more details, please read our privacy policy.
