The Bicycle Association represents the interests of businesses across the UK Cycle Industry, to government, policy-makers, regulators, and to adjacent and complementary industries, here in the UK and internationally.
Our mission as a trade body is to support and grow the cycle sector using our intimate knowledge of the UK market, robust data and research, informed policy positions, and the deep expertise of our members. We seek to advise and inform policy makers and regulators to maximise the economic and industrial potential of our sector, as well as the societal potential of increasing the use and availability of the products, services and technology our members bring to the UK market.
Cycling and micro mobility in all its forms can bring many benefits - from transport to health and environment. Our innovative sector supplies the products, services and technology which makes this possible. It is a strategic industry with a key role in economy, transport, health and environmental policy.
We have a blueprint for growth, summarised in the manifesto below.
E-Bike Initiatives & Resources
The Bicycle Association is convinced that e-bikes have huge potential for mobility, for health and to contribute to decarbonisation of transport. When sourced from responsible suppliers, they are a very safe and enjoyable form of transport.
The standard is intended to enable people purchasing, installing and managing public cycle parking to procure products and installations.
Cycle theft is a significant barrier to cycling growth: the industry loses many customers who never return after a theft. Also, it’s a huge issue for retailers who may be targeted by professional thieves.
The Bicycle Association considers cargo bikes and cycle logistics (the movement of goods and people by cycle) strategically vital sectors for the future of our cities as we move to decarbonising transport and improving urban quality of life.
