Glow rides are back

Support the future of the Cyclists’ Defence Fund

For 25 years, the Cyclists’ Defence Fund has helped ensure cyclists’ voices are heard when legal cases could have far-reaching consequences. As the legal landscape continues to evolve, we need to be ready to respond whenever important decisions affect cycling.

By donating to the CDF, you’re helping us to continue to champion cyclists’ rights, support fair legal outcomes and build a stronger future for cycling across the UK.

Current case

We’re challenging Merseyrail’s blanket ban on all non-folding electric bikes across the whole of its network – including in secure storage at stations. This ban will have a devastating effect on e-bike users, particularly older and disabled people. It will severely limit people’s travel choices, which is why we’re fighting the ban. Your donations will help us take the fight to Merseyrail.
