ABOUT US

GBMCC began in 1977 as a club for gay men and women bikers in the UK, and with a current membership of around 500, we are the biggest gay biking club in Europe. Members come from all over the UK and there an increasing number from Europe and Oveseas.

Our members are of all ages and backgrounds. We naturally have varied biking interests, but we are primarily a road-riding club. Riding experience ranges from novice through to advanced riders and club racers. It is our interest in motorcycles and motorcycling which bring us together.

The club offers its members a lively programme of events as well as support and friendship.

Our events are local, national and European. We have a regional network of local area contacts who organise regular meetings every month, generally a mixture of riding and social gatherings, and there are unique events with national appeal.

The club regularly publicises a diary of events, and separately produces a quarterly members magazine.

The club runs a non-discriminatory policy, and any motorcyclist who feels at ease with gay men and women can join. The club has a few rules, amongst which two are strictly enforced, 1); To become and remain as a member you must own a motorcycle, and 2); You must attend our riding events on a motorcycle. The club has no dress code.

AFFILIATION

GBMCC has been affiliated to the British Motorcyclists Federation (BMF) for most of its history. We are represented at the annual BMF Rally. Other links are with GLME (Gay and Lesbian Motorcyclists in Europe), MAG (Motorcycle Action Group) and, more recently, NABD (the National Association of Bikers with a Disability).
