As all Covid restrictions in England have now been lifted, British Cycling have withdrawn their own specific guidance on Covid. However, on all club rides we should follow all the appropriate Government guidance in place at the time and remain vigilant in our efforts to limit the spread of Covid-19.

Electric bikes:  Club members are welcome to use electric bikes on club rides provided that their bike complies with the government rules for Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycles (EAPCs). If a bike meets the EAPC requirements it is classed as a normal pedal bike. This means you can ride it on cycle paths and anywhere else pedal bikes are allowed. Any electric bike that does not meet the EAPC rules is classed as a motorcycle or moped and needs to be registered and taxed. You’ll need a driving licence to ride one and you must wear a crash helmet.

If a club member or other rider was to join a club run with a modified e-bike or a bicycle with an e-bike conversion that does not conform to the legal requirements then that rider and the club would not be indemnified against third party losses under the club’s insurance. For this reason, Fenland Clarion can only allow legal EAPCs to be used on club runs and rides.  Individual members are responsible for checking and disclosing to the club whether their EAPC is legal. When attending a club run, please make the Ride Leader aware that you are riding an Electric bike and be ready to confirm that it complies with the EAPC rules.
