TRF

The Trail Riders Fellowship (TRF) was founded in 1970 in response to the latest legislation which reduced the public's access on roads throughout the countryside. Since then, it has maintained a vigil against a series of sustained attempts by anti-public access activists to further reduce the public’s access, including that of motorcyclists, on the Green (unsealed) and minor road network. The organisation promotes responsible and sustainable motorcycling on the Green Road Network. It works with DEFRA, DfT, DCMS other user and access groups like the BHS, Cycling UK, the Open Spaces Society, Land Access and Recreation Association and the Green Lane Association in protecting public access and co-ordinating management projects. Considered the leading authority on motorcycling in this area, it is the only motorcycling organisation which regularly litigates on behalf of the public to defend their right to use the Green Road Network. In the last ten years the non-for-profit organisation has spent almost £2m defending the rights of motorcyclists. The TRF membership continues to grow and now has over 10,000 members throughout England and Wales organised into over 40 local groups.

"The TRF protects all that we hold dear in the UK and is a group that should be supported by all riders who cherish the ability to enjoy our country’s beautiful green lanes. As well as their political work the TRF is comprised of local sub-divisions with monthly meet ups and ride outs, proving a great social platform for riders of all levels. Become a member today. Since joining the TRF I have made friends for life, connecting with likeminded individuals whose common love for exploring the great outdoors on bikes, binds us together. The magazine is genuinely brilliant too, a nice little bonus. The TRF is an organisation I’d support even if there were no presence beyond the lobbying and representation side. The fact that there is a whole world of groups and events too makes joining and supporting and no-brainer." - Andrew, Director - Adventure Rider Ltd
