The Anfield Bicycle Club was formed in 1879 in the Anfield district of Liverpool. The "Anfield" has an important place in cycling history. Our riders helped shape competitive long distance cycling and time-trialling. Outstanding Anfielders included prolific record breaker George Pilkington Mills, who won the first Bordeaux - Paris race in 1891. His exploits helped inspire the Tour de France.

Club activities include Saturday clubruns in West Cheshire, weekends in North Wales, and the classic Anfield 100, held annually each Spring Bank Holiday Monday on Shropshire roads.

Our quarterly newsletter, The Anfield Circular, published with out break since 1906 celebrates our history and club-life. Click here for photos.

The Anfield Bicycle Club and Liverpool Football Club share the same roots thanks to our second President John Houlding (brewer, sometime Mayor of Liverpool, and consul to Istanbul). He was also the founder of Liverpool Football Club in 1892 having been left with a ground and no team after evicting Everton from Anfield over a rent dispute.
