Cycle Advocacy Network: local cycle campaigning
Do you want to help get more people cycling? Do you want to share the joy of riding a bike? Do you want to see real change - with separated cycle lanes, safer roads, and shops, offices and homes accessible by bike? So do we!
The CAN resources, events and tools on this page are open to all, and there are specific ways to get involved listed below. If you'd like more detail, please read the Introduction to the Cycle Advocacy Network (PDF) - and join us on the journey to get more people cycling.
Local contacts in the Cycle Advocacy Network
Are you looking to speak up for cycling in your community? Do you want to connect with someone nearby?
Use this map to find cycle campaign groups and Cycling UK local representatives near you.
You can tick the 'Boundaries' layers in the map sidebar to find people within your council area or constituency. As transport is devolved, the constituencies layer shows constituencies for the Scottish Parliament, Welsh Senedd, Northern Ireland Assembly, and the UK Parliament within England.
If you're aware of a campaign group that isn't on the map, please let us know at [email protected] and we'll add it.
If you are interested to find out more about becoming a Local Representative yourself, please email Cycling UK's campaigns officer Connor Cashell or apply online.

Get involved with our mass ride day of action
Cycling UK is organising a night of action on 22 October 2025 for mass ‘light up the night’ rides linked with our new campaign ‘My ride. Our right’.

Supporting campaign groups
You may already be part of a local campaign or group, speaking up for cycling in your community, or perhaps you are in the process of starting one up. The Cycle Advocacy Network can be a resource for you, too.
We are particularly keen to support smaller groups and new starters. Visit the CAN page for Scotland, Wales, England or Northern Ireland to find out more about how your group can partner with us.
