Club Information

About our club

London’s friendliest cycle club.

We are a South London based cycling club, open to all riders across the city. Our club ethos is based on the principles of the cooperative movement.

We do all types of cycling: road, track, MTB, BMX, Cyclocross, audax, cobbles and the rest.

Brixton Cycles Club, as the name suggests, is linked to the great Brixton Cycles situated on Brixton Road. As you may know, Brixton Cycles is a worker’s co-operative, which essentially means that everyone that works there is an owner of the shop (or a probationary member) with equal pay, equal say, equal rights and equal responsibilities to everyone else. These core values are at the heart of the Shop and also at the heart of the Club, which we think gives us an inclusive feel!

We have over 300 members at the last count, across a wide range of ages and cycling ability. While we are not the biggest club in South London, we would hope that there is something about the Club for everyone.

We are predominantly a social club although we do have a track racing pedigree and over the past year or so have seen the racing side of the Club grow as new members have joined.

In addition to the regular Sunday Club Run, we organise mid-week training sessions as well as race meets at Herne Hill Velodrome and, of course, regular socials – it’s the events we think we do best!

We understand that riding with a Club for the first time can be intimidating but we hope to make the experience as easy and enjoyable as it should be. If you would be interested in finding out what Brixton Cycles Club is like please see below for how to join.

Sunday club runs start and end at Crystal Palace, London SE19 from 8.30am, with rides leaving at 9am.

Non-members are more than welcome to join us for two rides to see if the pace and company suits. After your second club run you will have the option of joining the Club and we will explain how to become a member.

BCC operate a non-drop policy and therefore we will always wait for the slowest member of the group. That said, we would expect any new member to be able to ride 40ish miles and climb the sort of steep hills that are common in Kent & Surrey – but you don’t need to hold any KoMs for such hills to come for a spin!

If you are new to group riding, your ride leader will explain everything you need to know to ensure the safety of riders as individuals and a group.

We can only take people out in have clipless pedals or toe-straps / cages. We also expect people to have a roadworthy bike, be self-sufficient in replacing an inner tube and have enough water and food for the ride (emergency cash is always useful, some cafe stops are not quite banking 2.0 yet).

Finally, if you are really keen and want to do a club run in bad weather in winter, full mudguards are mandatory if it’s wet and you can’t ride without them.
