British Cycling membership

apologies if this is old news to everyone else, but having just taken out Ride membership with British Cycling I got 50% off for being a SNCC member and another 10% for paying by direct debit - a quid a month seems like a bit of a bargain to me!

Useful info, Simon, thanks. Did you just go through the normal check out process to get the club member discount?

(I don't see that offered when I go through that process, but it may be because I'm already a BC member and that offer is for new members only)

extract from blurb below - looks like 'new' members only, although it seems that if you go through the process as a 'new member' they will amalgamate with any previous registration you may have (no, me neither)


having looked at online details, it seems that 28 SNCC members are registered with BC - so my 'finders fee' from the other 80 odd should keep me in jelly babies for a fair old while


who have not been members of British Cycling before get a number of discounted membership options.

1) Free Bronze membership – this comes with a Provisional Race licence (you don’t get licence points) but no individual insurance packages.
2) £15 off Silver and Gold membership – These come with Provisional Race licence and eligibility to buy a full race licence. Silver and gold also offer a number of individual insurance benefits as well.
3) Half price Ride membership – This is for commuters and leisure riders so doesn’t come with a race licence, but does have individual liability insurance (non-competitive cycling only) plus free legal advice and support.
For more details, including the other benefits of joining British Cycling as an individual, compare each membership package here: www.britishcycling.org.uk/membership/compare

Race – Bronze, Silver or Gold – NEWCMRA
