Our story
From Sunday rides to Nandi Hills, to a national racing calendar
BBCh started with a simple but powerful idea: to bring people together to race, ride, and grow the sport of cycling. What began as informal Sunday rides up Nandi Hills evolved, year on year, into a structured, professionally executed race calendar — now ten races deep, every season.
Today, riders travel from across India to Bengaluru to compete. Many of the country's national champions began their careers on a BBCh start line.
“A launchpad for India's top cycling talent.”
Mission
To grow competitive cycling culture in India by making racing accessible, inclusive, fair, and exciting.
Vision
A sustainable, community-driven platform where everyday riders, weekend warriors, and aspiring athletes can test their limits.
What we stand for
Run by riders, for riders
No prize money
The reward lies in the experience, the challenge, and the camaraderie — not a cheque.
International standards
Every race is designed and run to international standards in race design, safety, and sportsmanship.
Entirely volunteer-run
BBCh is organised and delivered by volunteers, non-profit, season after season.
Community-owned
Ownership by the community keeps the platform authentic, transparent, and focused on the riders.
