CTC’s record membership

Extract From CTC Newesletter, copyright acknowledged.

Every day more and more people join CTC and that’s why we have surpassed our membership record set back in the ‘Golden Age’ of cycling in 1899, just after the invention of the pneumatic tyre and the safety bicycle, and before cars appeared in any great number. Today CTC has 60,776 members, supports 10,000 more cyclists in affiliated groups and has helped 20,000 beneficiaries through its charitable work. CTC Director Kevin Mayne said: “I am delighted we have reached the highest membership in our history. Membership helps make CTC unique and gives us our independent and democratic voice as we are 60,000 people united by a passion for cycling. It also makes us a community, a club and, even at times a safe haven, for all types of cyclists: ‘Safety in Numbers’ has real meaning in CTC.” To find out more read Kevin Mayne’s message to members.
