British Cycling Discount Codes & Deals

I sold mine for 70 straight away 👌

Yeah , my back light has failed after 3 weeks. customer support is shocking. Email only. You ask for support, after 48 hours they reply asking what you have already quoted. You reply, then wait and wait. After a few days another stupid question as if you might have forgotten the original problem, you reply and wait and wait and wait, that was 5 days ago and I am still waiting for a reply to the 3rd email and have a useless rear light. I supplied my phone number but that is obviously an outdated way of contacting a customer.

British Cycling is a pointless organisation. Unless you spend a lot of money on bikes/parts ( where you might get a small discount ) save you money.

(lol)

Yea, it looks like I'll see sense and sell them on ebay

Nice find and first deal @golfgolfgolf - cheers for sharing :)

The Commute membership only covers your for commuting/utility - if you ride for exercise of leisure, have a look at the Ride membership (discount still works on that, just capped)

yep, same here

Even tried a different email address, and it still picked me up as a past member.

Ride membership worked for me - £21.15 after the DD discount. Thanks

Chose your weapon a 2tonne car capable of travelling 100+ mph or a 10kg bike which can travel about 30mph and more typically 10-15mph. Deaths caused by cycling are rare ie single digit figures over multiple years, when they do happen the world explodes ( as you mention Allison ), but deaths by car are common and frequently and thrown under the rug and ignored by the media. We have become almost complacent to the fact cars ( people ) take so many lives its all basically now normal. Nothing I stated is inaccurate, feel free to state any point I made and I will happily pass a tonne of evidence to back up my point. The consequences of breaking the law in a car are an order of magnitude worse than someone on a bike, in terms of damage to property and other human life.

I don’t normally dive with my bike. I tend to just ride it! I already hold proficiency in the way of a driving license. Just because I’m on two wheels why should this be any different than four? We need to move away from cars! ycles and hopefully soon e-scooters will revolutionise transport.

This is full of inaccuracies - there are good drivers and poor drivers, great cyclists and awful ones...at worst a cyclist kills someone through their actions, as has been seen with high profile incidents including Allison or whatever the idiot with no brakes was called in London. "Cars" don't kill anyone either, only the people who drive them do. The reason some car drivers get angry at cyclists is law of the jungle - the expectation is that a car is more powerful than a bike, and annoyance that cars (both fuel and the vehicle itself) are taxed heavily and are therefore more "deserving" than bikes. The obverse is also true, some cyclists get angry at pretty much everything... pedestrians, other cyclists, buses etc. Some drivers break the law and some don't, some cyclists break the law and some don't, I'd say the most obvious one being red light jumping. This is all true because cyclists and drivers are all members of the human race, no one has a monopoly on virtue (y)

Personally I think cyclists should be limited to cycling in no more than groups of 4, most problems solved involving inconsiderate idiots cycling as if no one else exists and stopping everyone from overtaking. I'm a cyclist myself before anyone accuses me of bias (y)

Thanks, very useful!

What do you get from being a member?

Promo Code: SISMAY20

They have a chat line ask them, even then it seems to be variable at branches what they do. They dont generally let you stck offers, so I got a discounted bike that they were also offering tradin on so they wouldnt give me Brit Cycling as well but you get 5% from quidco.

Does anybody know whether 10% Halfords discount can be used for buying a bike through Cycle 2 Work scheme?

It doesn't apply anyway to fan membership

"Cycling UK 3 months' free membership for health and social care workers; We're here to support your cycle to work with free third-party liability insurance, legal assistance through our Cycling UK Incident Line, retail discounts and Cycle magazine." https://www.cyclinguk.org/join/nhs (y)

Yet again only for Nhs staff, the rest of us dont matter.

Interesting

Thank you OP

today was a good day!

I don't see a £37 membership on the site? Am I missing something? https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/membership The DD offer on the 'Ride' membership is £38.70

knocked off my bike in late 2018, a tad over 6 months later i had the cheque in the bank via BC legal assist, most of that time was spent by the other parties insurance company trying to get intouch with their insured as he ignored all attempts to contact him & requests by post for him to contact his insurers ( think it took threats of policy cancellation & removal of his mobility vehicle entitlement because of this before he finally contacted them - still denied he was at fault but insurers believed the police report more than him so paid up ) but main reason i got the BC card was the 10% Halfords discount ( it used to be 10% off ANY purchase in a halfords store, now been tightened down to any BIKE related purchase which is fair enough really ) had around £700 discount in the 1st year with the membership as i let any family or friends who were purchasing anything from halfords use the discount ( tool kits, sat navs, bikes etc so soon totted up ) but only about £550 in discount in the years since they began tightening up the discount to bike related only purchases ( still managed a few non bike related discounts in the early months of the revised discount as not all stores had told the staff not to apply the discount on other purchases ) just renewed this week too & this years membership for £41 spent will most likely see over £260 discount on my next purchase alone ( more if i make other purchases too ) if all goes to plan as i feel the need for another leccy bike so erm, pays for itself in notime with the discount for me, the legal assist & at fault accident cover for my work commute is an added bonus for me :D

Errr just riding your bike to work qualifies as long as you might have been thinking about one day doing an event. So it covers pretty much most eventualities. It's still cheaper than BC with better cover. Plus the solicitors with bc I've used have been shocking. A collision in early 2018 with fault admitted immediately- still waiting for a resolution. Not actually used BTF cover but to be fair it can't be worse. It just can't.

Just to clarify, the personal accident cover with British Triathlon is.... ....only when training in Britain towards a triathlon goal, racing in Britain at a British Triathlon Permitted Event, and racing abroad** only at ETU or ITU Championships* i.e not useful for the vast majority of us!!

£50! They are having a laugh. Barely worth £20 for the bundle

Frustrating thing is I give up so much time to volunteer you'd think you'd get some sort of discount but I get stuffed for silver and a licence each year to the tune of £100!

Yeah I didn’t consider that as I don’t have any accreditations - they have you over a barrel (fierce)

Trouble is if I start a new account I'll lose my breeze bike leader, assistant comm, welfare officer and velodrome accreditation. Damn you BC!!!!

yeah i've been looking to renew and the promo codes section just doesn't appear if you've been a member before. regardless the codes are showing out of date when added now too. MEMFRND still seems to work on "new" accounts though to take £10 off

Yeah been trying to do it on mine as mine is up for renewal but can't seem to add it. Must only be for new customers

Alternatively, you can get Ride membership for £17 if you're an HSBC customer... Or not, as shown in the comments ;) Fan membership is free. https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/free-british-cycling-membership-3247877

23.59 on 31 July - I’ll update now with the expiry date

Some bad cyclists out there but outnumbered by bad drivers, it’s a UK thing

Is that an example of the meathead left handed blinker?

Used the code, paid, today I get emailed that this is a referral code and in order to be used they ask me for the member's membership ID to confirm the referral.

It's worth knowing that Fan Membership (and Race Bronze) do NOT include liability insurance or legal cover - which is why many of us take out a membership with British Cycling or Cycling UK. That makes Fan Membership a bit pointless to me so I've taken out Commute Membership instead. Paying by direct debit makes it £33 and i'll probably use the free service (worth £30) at Cycle republic (though I'll give them on of my kids bikes, mine goes to a local place that I know n trust!) and I might use the 30% off a See.Sense light - if I use both then the benefits i use are worth more than I paid and I've got liability insurance in case I cause an accident and legal cover in case someone hits me. Now if I only had medical cover - the only cycling accident I've had was when my back wheel went from under me a few weeks ago and I lost three teeth!

Hi, I signed up using this code and whilst it initially worked, they have now emailed asking for the membership ID of the person who referred me. So just a warning to anyone thinking of using it. Does anyone have a membership number they'd be happy to share with me, so that they get the referral? Thanks.

Does bronze membership give u discounts in stores, as it’s free for me as I have never signed up or do I have to pay for a membership to get

If you cycle then yes. Ride membership if you take part in sportives, etc., Commute membership if you don't.

getting an error message when setting up the direct debit, anyone else having this issue?

Any, so even Bronze.

Which membership plan will give me Halfords discount? Starting a new job on Monday and first thing i want is get bike to work plan as it will just 4 miles now.

Asks for your credit card details to start a direct debit at the end

You can’t sod the bikes, the money goes to British Cycling :/
