Bigfoot Youth CC
Welcome to Bigfoot Youth CC
Bigfoot Youth CC is a Bromley-based cycling club for children from 4 years old and upwards. The club runs coaching sessions under the supervision of its British Cycling-qualified coaches. Members can also choose to take part in rides and races. Through the club members develop their fitness and bike handling skills in a fun, friendly and safe environment.
The club has four sections: the Balance branch (for children yet to learn to ride a pedal bike), the Mini branch for 5 to 7 year olds, the Junior branch for 7 to 11 years old and the Youth branch for secondary school children. We also have two other websites: for Rides: www.bigfootgoriding.org and Races: www.southlondongoracing.org (races run by Bigfoot and other local clubs)
We share our name with the adult cycle club Bigfoot CC - the name is from a former local bike shop in Hayes Village.
Noticeboard
Go Ride Racing (All club members):
The South London Go Ride League (SLGRRL), hosted by a number of local kids cycle clubs. Racing for children with little or no cycle racing experience - all ages. All the information you need is at: www.southlondongoracing.org
Our recent usual arrangement applies - Saturday club members, going to Saturday SLGRRL races during term time can join the race for free.
When we host SLGRRL races on a Saturday (that are not until 2025, details to follow), there will be no Saturday club coaching sessions except for our balance riders during the parts of the year that we run such balance sessions.
