Get involved

Volunteer for us

We’ve divided the tasks involved in running Bricycles into bite-sized roles, so you can make a big difference by giving just two or three hours a month. We’re currently looking for the following:

Press contact

This person would be a central contact point for news media (print, TV and radio), and would give interviews and statements on cycling-related issues, or find others to do so.

You don’t need formal journalistic experience but will need to be happy about speaking on broadcast media and seeing your name in print. You will need a good grounding in cycling policy. We can give you media training.

Content writer / editor

We’re looking for someone to oversee content writing for our blog and local media articles. You’d be either writing articles or finding other volunteers to write them, and editing their output. This would involve a few hours’ work a month.

We’re also on the lookout for people who can write content, either occasionally or regularly.
 

You don’t need formal journalistic training or experience, but do need to be able to write concisely about cycling/active travel, and to convey complex information in straightforward terms without using jargon.

 

Please email info@bricycles.org.uk if you’re interested in these roles.

 

Become a Ranger

Being a ranger is a great way to become involved in your local community whilst getting out and about.

Whether it’s branches on cycle lanes, chaotic signage, a landslip or broken glass, obstructions can get in the way of cycling. By reporting these issues to the council or Highways England, we can make sure everyone’s journey is and safe and as easy as possible.

How much or how little you cover is up to you: it might be your daily route to work, or a trip out Sometimes, we report on animals in danger or lost dogs.

Reporting is easy – all you need to do is call, text or email Tom Jones, our head ranger, who will pass on your report to the relevant authority.

If you’d like to help out, please click here to send Tom an email.
