We are not just a cycling club but a campaign run by elected volunteers covering the whole of Dorset including Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.
We are a consultation group used by local authorities on cycling proposals and we work with them. We lobby the councils to improve cycle facilities, especially on behalf of people who cycle to school, work and to the shops.
We work with other organisations with compatible aims.
We help to identify cyclists’ needs such as safer junctions, secure parking, better signs etc.
A network of local area representatives lobby on local issues and organise local rides.
We organise gentle and moderate cycle rides and other events, on which ride leaders are covered for 3rd party insurance through Cycling UK, to which we are affiliated.
