LONDON CLARION CYCLE CLUB - ABOUT US
London Clarion Cycle Club is a cycling club located in London. We are one London's oldest cycling institutions, founded in 1895. The Clarion cycling movement was itself established in 1894 by staff and readers of the Clarion newspaper, a socialist journal of the day started by Robert Blatchford. 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. Our cycling club promotes socialist, anti-fascist, and feminist values while maintaining a collective and politically minded approach.
A friendly and inclusive Cycling Club
Our calendar includes many unique club rides throughout the year, spanning distances from a leisurely 20 miles to a more challenging 100 miles, encompassing both themed excursions and training sessions. Our club calendar also has weekends away including a trip to Dieppe in France each June.
