Forge London is run as a collective – volunteers giving up their free time for the love of cycling and to improve the club. Every year at our AGM, members of the club elect our Committee, including the Club Chair, Club Treasurer and Club Captain.
We also have a team of experienced Ride Captains looking after our two main Club Rides (Thursday evening and Sunday morning), ensuring the rides are safe, riders feel confident in the group, and offering tips to new joiners.
Whether leading a club ride, looking after the finances of the club or coordinating social plans, if you are interested in helping out, we’d be delighted to hear from you.
Our constitution covers all aspects of decision-making, expected behaviour, and our club standards and ethics.
