British Cycling sees 11% decline in membership in less than two years

British Cycling’s member count has fallen by 15,000 people in 20 months, as the governing body posts financial losses for the third year in a row.

According to the company’s annual accounts, released last week, membership numbers fell from 137,968 to 128,663 in the year to the end of March 2024. Cycling Weekly asked British Cycling for an up-to-date figure, and was told that this has since fallen further, to 122,982 at the end of November, representing a 10.86% decline in 20 months.
