A link to an organisation here does not mean that their pages are necessarily endorsed by us or by anyone else.We've used a fairly wide definition of the term 'riders' rights' which can be summed up as: "Any motorcyclists organisation actively working to promote and protect motorcycling for all". Please note that this does not claim to be an exhaustive listing of all motorcyclists organisations or even an exhaustive listing of all campaigning motorcyclists organisations.

There are many very worthwhile motorcyclist organisations which do not fall within our definition of riders rights. These would include for example Rider's for Health (a charity organisation specialising in the use of motorcycles in African aid) and the National Association for Disabled Bikers (NABD UK). Listing of specialist organisations such as one make clubs, gay and lesbian clubs, touring clubs is left to national organisations and to the excellent Ronnie Cramers Motorcycle Index.

How to add contacts

If the details of your organisation aren't listed in the directory, or the displayed details are incorrect / out of date, just send David French an email giving the new details and of course including your name and position in the organisation and contact details. For organisations lacking websites or email addresses we will list postal and telephone contact details. To ensure the information in the directory is as up to date as possible we do not list the web sites of separate parts (chapters, regions, districts) of a single organisation or the email addresses of individual officers.

If your motorcyclist rights organisation has a Website then please send us its address.
