History of the Club

A Bridgwater Cycling Club has been around since at least 1881. Penny farthings were rode on the High Street in Bridgwater.

Another Bridgwater Cycling Club was formed on 25th January 1892. The headquarters was the “Admiral Blake”. Club and road rules were drawn up with the sum of 1 shilling being fixed as entrance fee 2/6d annual subscription. A large number of names were given in for membership.

Newspaper articles from 1899 reported that the cycling club was continuing to flourish. “Members of the club cycled to Goathurst and then to North Petherton where an impromptu party was head before returning to the headquarters”.
