Liz Clarke
Liz Clarke has been the Chair of Simply Cycling since June 2011. She was the founder of BikeRight!, which became the largest Cycle Training Organisation in the UK and still delivers Bikeability to 1000’s of children every year. BikeRight! supported Simply Cycling to become a thriving charity which now delivers its services in 3 locations across Greater Manchester to over 500 clients every week. Liz retired from BikeRight! In March 2018, and is wholly committed to Simply Cycling in its mission to build a community where cycling is accessible and enjoyable for everyone regardless of ability, age or background. In 2012 Liz cycled from Lands’ End to John O Groats To raise funds for a specially adapted side by side bike. She aims to repeat this in 2026 – at a more leisurely pace but with the same goal of raising funds for a specialist bike.
