Through the Big Bike Revival Programme, grants of up to £3,500 are available for voluntary and non-profit groups to deliver events that use the ‘fix-learn-ride’ model to achieve the following objectives:
- Inspire and encourage the large proportion of the adult population who do not cycle, to start cycling.
- Increase the number of adults that cycle by addressing the fact that a high proportion of adults in England own cycles (42%) but are not using them.
- Increase the number of trips made by cycles by addressing the fact that adults in Britain appear to be aware of cycling and its potential for shorter journeys but have safety concerns about using it as a form of travel.
- To improve the perception of cycling safety by providing opportunities for adults to access supported cycling activities, training on how to cycle safely, and how to keep cycles in safe working order.
For the Summer 2025 funding round, there is a focus on encouraging partners to inspire participants to return to subsequent events, to help sustain increases in cycling, and to help make a much bigger difference through Big Bike Revival.
Proposed activities should take place between 18 April 2025 and 31 October 2025.
Deadline: 14 July 2025
