UK Youth is a leading national youth work charity supporting over 750,000 young people, helping them to raise their aspirations, realise their potential and have their achievements recognised via non-formal, accredited education programmes and activities.

Our work with young people makes a lasting impact by encouraging young people to take responsibility and become involved citizens. It gives a voice to people who are too rarely heard and builds skills that will remain useful throughout their lives.

Bike Club is one initiative that UK Youth supports. Its aims are to encourage young people to use cycling as a means of transport so they can take part in more activities beyond the school day, and discover the freedom cycling brings. It seeks to make cycling an important part of young people’s lives - as recreation, sport, exercise, a ‘green’ form of transport - and just for fun!

Bike Club empowers children, young people, parents, teachers and youth workers, volunteers, and others, to promote and implement cycling activities.

Our President Nigel Mansell OBE and Vice President Magnus Backstedt are huge fans of The London-Paris event and are very much looking forward to taking part with a UK Youth Team in 2012.
