About us
Founded by Belinda Scott and Alison Dex in 2017 and initially set up as a small group on Facebook, BellaVelo is now the largest women-only road cycling club in SW London, with 290 club members as at 1st January 2022. Our Facebook community has more than 1,300 members. But BellaVelo is more than just a club – it is a community of like-minded women who support each other both on and off their bikes.
Our mission is to help our members share their love and knowledge about all things cycling so, if you’re training for an event, seeking to improve, looking for organised rides and away days, or simply want to meet like-minded cyclists, then we just might be the club for you.

WELFARE
We are an inclusive and supportive club and welcome anyone who identifies as a woman or a non-binary rider. In line with British Cycling policy, we have a dedicated Welfare Officer who can be contacted with any questions, comments, or concerns.
