Big Bike Revival Programme: Approaching Deadline

Voluntary groups and not-for-profit organisations across England have until 1 June to apply for the funding to deliver cycling projects for adults who are either not currently cycling or cycling less frequently.

The Big Bike Revival Programme offers grants of up to £3,500 for groups to host events using the ‘fix-learn-ride’ model to achieve the following:

• Encourage adults who don’t cycle to cycle.
• Encourage adults to cycle more often.
• Increase short cycling trips.
• Improve the perception of cycle safety.
• Improve adults’ confidence to cycle.

Events should be aimed at people returning to cycling, starting as complete beginners, and other people who do not cycle regularly. This includes reaching new people, including groups who are underrepresented in cycling or face challenges and perceived barriers to cycling
