London Clarion Cycle Club
London Clarion Cycle Club
A London Cycling Club for Leisure Cycling and Cycle Touring
We are one of the oldest London Cycling Clubs with roots dating back to the 1890's. We are a mixed ability London Cycling Club with members from all across the south east; we organise a wide variety of Cycling Club rides each year and we are known for being an inclusive, relaxed and friendly group of cyclists.
As a London Cycling Club our primary focus is on leisure road cycling and cycle touring with some members also taking part in Audax, Time Trials, Sportives, Cyclocross and Road Races. The most important thing to us is fellowship through cycling which often involves a visit to a pub after a ride. Whether you ride a road bike, a mountain bike, a Brompton or event a tricycle there will be a club run suitable for you.

In 2019 we organised cycling club trips to West Yorkshire, Dieppe in France and a bank holiday weekend cycling in Belgium and France, visiting the First World War battlefields. Our members get access to our full programme of events. London Clarion Cycle Club is affiliated to the London Cycling Campaign and Cycling Time Trials. Whether you have a road bike a mountain bike or a Brompton bike there will be a ride suitable for you. As a cycling club we enjoy cycling in London, as well as cycling in Kent and we often organise weekends away cycling elsewhere in the UK and mainland Europe.
This year we celebrate 125 years since the club was first established in May 1895. The Clarion Cycling movement was established by staff and readers of the Clarion newspaper, a socialist journal of the day started by Robert Blatchford in the 1890's. The Clarion motto, borrowed from William Morris, is “Fellowship is Life”, thus the aim of the club is to promote goodwill and fellowship through cycling.
