Become a Breeze champion
Published 1 July 2011
The Breeze network from British Cycling is looking for more inspirational Breeze champions. You don't have to be an expert cyclist, just enthusiastic and enjoy riding your bike! Three times more men than women currently ride a bike for fun, and we want to help close this cycling gap. Together with you, we're working to help thousands more women to have fun on a bike and feel the fun, freedom and fresh air that bike rides can offer.
If you're interested in becoming a Breeze champion, you'll take part in a fun one day ride leadership course, followed by a two hour workshop about the Breeze network where you'll have a chance to meet the Breeze team and other champions. In turn we'll provide you with free kit, British Cycling Ride membership (worth £24), and plenty of support every step of the way. Furthermore, to ensure you're able to deliver safe bike rides, British Cycling will contribute to a first aid qualification. Once you're trained you can organise, promote and deliver your own bike rides as part of the Breeze network. We ask champions to deliver on average 14 rides over the year to local women in their area.
We 've trained nearly 450 champions and we're aiming to increase that number to over 1,000 across England.
We'ill be announcing more courses in the New Year and they'll be starting in April 2012. In the meantime we welcome expressions of interest. Just complete an application form and return it to us at breeze@britishcycling.org.uk.
Once we have the course dates and locations confirmed, we'll contact you to see if you're available for the course closest to you. Click here to download more information and an application form to express your interest. Or call 0161 274 2117.
