Do I need to be a paid up member of British Cycling?

No but you all members are recommended to have third party liability insurance in case of a claim by a driver or another cyclist.  Cycling UK also provide insurance cover.

When you join DCC via the British Cycling webpage, you are also invited to join British Cycling at a reduced rate.  If you join British Cycling as an active ride member, active silver member or active gold member this gives you third party liability insurance cover and legal support via their essential cover for leisure sportive and affiliated club rider cover for third party claims against you for up to £15m.  All other memberships with British Cycling do not provide insurance, e.g active fan and active bronze.You are also able to take out your own insurance policy with alternative providers to obtain the level of cover required if you prefer.
