We are brought together by a collective love of riding bikes - a passion which takes many forms in our diverse membership. We pride ourselves on being friendly, welcoming and inclusive, and despite the name we're made up of cyclists from across Bristol and the surrounding areas. BSCC is the oldest cycling club in Bristol, formed in 1893 - check out our club history pages to find out more...
Formed in 1893 by a group of enthusiastic cyclists, Bristol South Cycling Club has been riding the roads around Bristol ever since...
The club had now established itself as a major cycling club, with members competing at national level events. In 1961, Souther, Chris Holloway (pictured) managed third place in the Best British All Rounder (BBAR) competition with Bristol South claiming first place in the National Team Competition. Then in 1966, Barbara Body became the first Bristol Souther to represent GB at the World Championships, on the famous Nuremburg Ring in Germany.
