British Cycling is the internationally recognised governing body of cycling in the UK. It administers the sport in the following disciplines: BMX, Cycle Speedway, Cyclo-Cross, Mountain Bike, Road and Track. In conjunction with its funding partners, British Cycling has a five year strategy for the development of cycling, the UK Wide One-Stop Plan.

As the governing body of cycling, British Cycling has a range of responsibilities, which, for operational purposes, the organisation groups under two main headings:

Excellence

British Cycling runs the lottery-funded GB Cycling Teams in Road, Track, Mountain Bike Cross-Country and Paralympic cycling and is offering an increasing amount of support to the GB team in non-Olympic disciplines. The teams are selected, managed and equipped to a high standard and in the last five years, Great Britain has made significant progress up the rankings in most cycling disciplines.

Participation

British Cycling members have access to an extensive events programme, racing licences and a range of benefits. British Cycling underpins cycling with programmes focusing on Facilities, Major Events, Coaching, Volunteers, Club Development and Grass-Roots participation. The organisation is also committed to broadening the base of participation in leisure cycling in the UK.
