Anne-Marie Smith of Cycling UK-affiliated group Onnabike
Do you lead rides or would you like to? It’s a very rewarding role and means you can take part in the kind of rides you like in good company. Our resources will make the job easier and mean you can concentrate on enjoying the fun!

Resources below include:

  • How to register a ride leader or event organiser with Cycling UK
  • How to keep track of who is on your ride or at your event
  • How to carry out a risk assessment
  • How to obtain parental consent for under 18s
  • How to obtain consent for filming and photography
  • We also have a webinar around ride leading 

We also provide FREE online training for Cycling UK members and member group ride leaders. The accompanying handbook is available below. 

Alternatively, if you are not a member, we can arrange bespoke courses for small groups via our Training Dept. 

Use our online accident/incident report form to report any incidents or near misses during a ride.
