When you become a Life Member of Cycling UK, you'll receive a special Life Membership card with your name and the date you very first joined. You will also continue to receive your wonderful member benefits such as 3rd party insurance, retail discounts, Cycle magazine and the ability to ride with Cycling UK member and affiliated groups. As a young teenager in the 70s, our cycling club afforded me a real degree of personal mobility that others can't access until they can drive, not to mention a very healthy activity to focus a young person's interests and goals. Pity then that motorbikes lured me away for 30 years. But they say once you've had the cycling bug it always finds you again, and true for me 7 years ago when I re-joined. By then it was clear that the economy of life membership made it the best bet Simon, Cambridge How much does life membership cost? The cost of Life Membership varies and is reduced based on the number of years you’ve already been a member, to recognise your loyalty, and predicting how long you are likely to need the insurance cover. To simply calculate the price of your membership you will just need to know how long you have been a member and your age. The price starts at £1,200, then based on every year you have been a member and your age (up to 71), you are entitled to a discount of 0.5% or currently £6.00 for each year. Use our handy calculator at the bottom of this page, or get in touch with our membership team who will help you. To give you an example of what you could save, if you had been a member since you were 20, and are now 60 years old, you would pay £600 - half the price of the starting rate. That is a big reduction and just think how much more you could save by taking up life membership earlier rather than renewing each year. However, it is not just about the saving, it is also about supporting the incredible work that membership enables Cycling UK to do and showing a wonderful commitment to helping more people to cycle.
