Kent Community Cycle Clubs

Community Cycle Clubs are at the heart of Cycling UK’s programme to bring about sustained change and to encourage more people to cycle. A Community Cycle Club (CCC) is a group of people who come together to do cycling for whatever purpose they choose. They run in all sorts of places including with older people’s groups, youth groups, workplaces, refugee charities, mosques and veterans’ groups. People who joined a CCC reported they were cycling more often, starting to meet physical activity guidelines and feeling healthier, happier and better connected to their communities.

The following Community Cycle Clubs are open to the general public and offer regular friendly and inclusive cycling activities for anyone in the local area:
