Parcel delivery company DPD has partnered with Army Cycling to support the body responsible for cycling participation at all levels from promoting access to cycling as a means of transport around bases to training elite athletes.
The Army Cycling Union (ACU) was created in 1950 to encourage cycling as a pastime and promote all branches of the sport.
Regardless of age, gender or experience, the ACU is committed to promoting and facilitating cycling across the Army.
As well as facilitating on camp Unit bikes as a healthy way to get around, Army Cycling also supports riders at all levels of the sport across road racing, time trials, e-racing, gravel, cyclocross, BMX and mountain biking.
Colonel Nick Mackenzie, chair of Army Cycling Union, commented: “We are hugely grateful to DPD for their support.
“They are a big household name that is already a long way down the road towards Net Zero and a big promoter of sustainable transport.
“Our mission is to inspire soldiers to cycle and create opportunities for everyone to achieve their cycling goals and DPD’s support will go a long way in helping us succeed.”
