Our Vision: A Newham where cycling is safe and fun
Anywhere. Anytime. For everyone.
We’re Newham Cyclists, part of the London Cycling Campaign. We are volunteers who campaign to break down barriers to cycling in the London borough of Newham. If you are a London Cycling Campaign member and live in Newham, you are automatically a member of Newham Cyclists too.
Newham Cyclists and LCC exist to help people of all ages, all races, all genders, all abilities, and all backgrounds access this cheap and convenient form of transport. Cycling should be for everyone, not just the fast and the brave. You shouldn’t need any fancy kit—you should just be able to get on your cycle and ride.
Our volunteers campaign for better cycling infrastructure and conditions in Newham, organise regular rides, meetings and Fix Your Ride stalls, and provide outreach cycling support to local community groups.
You can join us by becoming a member of the London Cycling Campaign. Members get loads of benefits: liability insurance and legal advice if you’re ever in a crash, discounts at bike shops, a quarterly magazine, and more. You can join as an individual or for everyone in your household. Over-60s, under-25s, and unwaged people get a discount. And you’ll be helping us make cycling a mainstream, inclusive, and convenient mode of transport for everyone in Newham and beyond. The more members we have, the stronger our voice is.
You can also get involved by:
- Signing up to our mailing list to receive updates on upcoming events and issues of interest in Newham
- Coming to one of our led rides, which take place monthly on Sunday morning
- Joining our email discussion group, which we use to co-ordinate activities and post notices
- Coming along to our meetings, which are usually (but not always) on the last Monday of the month. Everyone is welcome, but you will need to be a Newham-resident LCC member to vote in elections
- Getting in touch with any questions via email or on Bluesky
