Find a Bicycle Mayor in Your City

There are a number of reasons to have a Bicycle Mayor in your city, but not everyone has the skills, time, or motivation. You or your organization can still get involved by committing to help us find a Bicycle Mayor in your city. Fill out the form below and we will send you a toolkit consisting of a helpful guide to the process as well as templates to help you promote the campaign. The process usually takes 4-8 weeks from initial planning to the official announcement. The organizing individual or authority can decide what level of involvement they want to have.

Previous Campaigns

When: January – March 2021

Organizer: Tom Swithinbank, Bristol Cycling Campaign

Media: Announcement, Poster, Social Media Post

Selected Mayor: Leah DeHaan

“We believe that a bicycle mayor for the city will help raise the profile of cycling as a genuine mode of the transport, especially in underrepresented groups and areas. We often hear that cycling advocacy is dominated by the ‘usual suspects’, we want to change that so that other voices are heard and can demonstrate the benefits cycling could have to their communities.”

“It has been a really seamless process, the team were very easy to work with and we worked together to design a flyer and set of social media posts and then defined a three week period for applicants to apply. It’s been brilliant to work with BYCS as the first cycle campaign to organise a search for their city and I really hope this is something that could be rolled out across many cities.”

– Tom Swithinbank, Bristol Cycling Campaign

“My key focus will be to encourage, support and increase cycling opportunities in Bristol. I plan to promote that cycling is accessible to all regardless of age, gender, race and cultural background and can be done in different capacities to suit our own needs.”

– Leah DeHaan, Bicycle Mayor of Bristol, England

Promote the Network and Our Work

Help spread the word about BYCS and the Bicycle Network in your country, region, city, or organization. The more people that hear about it, the more people will want to get involved, and the closer we will get to our mission of having half of all city trips by bicycle by the end of the decade. We are all in this together!
