Capital of Cycling is a coalition of cycling organisations, community groups and charities. We have a cycling hub in the heart of Bradford centre, opposite City Hall, next to The Bradford Hotel.
We work to support and connect some of the fantastic cycling work, events and opportunities that are already going on in The District. We wish to declare Bradford to be THE Capital of Cycling – and then work together with everyone who wants to – to make that actually happen. Why not join us?

Many more volunteers and members have given up their time and resources to help us get started. We have ‘wall of thanks’ in the window of our Hall Ings venue. Is your name on it yet? Please contact us if you feel you need to be mentioned on this page or would like to get involved with us.
We offer a bike maintenance drop-in training every Friday afternoon, free meeting space for cycling groups and more. If you want to get cycling, you’ve come to the right people! If you’re already involved in a cycling organisation such as a club or community group with an interest in it – come talk to us. Let’s work together to build something bigger than the sum of our parts.

Capital of Cycling has been saved (at least for now)! We’re happy to report that thanks to NCP execs, we’ve managed to retain our tenancy of the building for now, on a temporary basis. There are still some specifics to be negotiated for a longer term contract and we have a challenging schedule o...We're delighted to announce the launch of our Monday Shipley-Bradford return Bike Bus. Live in Shipley and Commute to Bradford? Join and ride with us and we can provide friendly support, a well planned route.
Designed to be sociable and inclusive, we travel at a modest pace which is suitable for less confident riders upwards.
This is just one of the buses we'll soon be launching as part of our Confident Commuter programme, funded by CityConnect Community Grants.
