What is Go-Ride?
Go-Ride is British Cycling’s Club Development Programme
aimed at improving both young riders and clubs. It focuses on volunteers and young members – improving coaching standards
and increasing the number of young riders with access to coaching activities.
Clubs must already meet
certain criteria before joining the programme but along the way they continually work towards improving themselves and achieving
‘best-practice’. Once all the pieces are in place, a club can become Go-Ride Clubmark Accredited.
All British Cycling qualified coaches meet a lot of the criteria
necessary to become Go-Ride Clubmark Accredited; they have attended a course on Safeguarding and Protecting Children, they
have a valid first-aid certificate, and are checked by the Criminal Records Bureau. As such, a lot of clubs who aren’t
already working towards Go-Ride Clubmark Accreditation have the necessary training to do so.
