Big Bike Revival Programme - Help Get People Back on their Bikes this Summer

Closing date

Local volunteer led-groups, social enterprises, and other not-for-profit organisations can apply for grants of up to £3,500 to deliver cycling events to get people back on their bikes this summer. 

The Big Bike Revival Programme will support organisations across England to deliver a summer programme of activity that will encourage people who do not currently cycle to consider either starting or returning to cycling. 

This includes people experiencing: 

  • social, economic and health deprivation 
  • people from diverse backgrounds 
  • those facing complex challenges 

The programme supports three types of events: 

  • Fix Events – offers basic services to repair cycles and provides essential checks to ensure cycles are safe to ride 
  • Learn Events – offers instruction, training or skills for adults to learn to maintain or repair their cycle or learn cycle skills to help them feel safer when cycling 
  • Ride Events – offers led rides for adults to practise cycling locally
