Our aim is to promote cycling for both transport and recreation.

We:

• work with local councils and government authorities to provide better facilities for cyclists.
• lobby for more bicycle-friendly cities and towns, and for improved standards of education and behaviour for all road users.
• encourage the formation of Bicycle User Groups (BUGs) to promote cycling at the local level.
• publish a newsletter Cycling in the West every two months to keep cyclists informed.

As a non-profit organisation we rely on our valued volunteer members.
