Who Is Kye?
Kye Whyte is a British Elite Men BMX racer from Peckham, South London, and a member of the Supercross BMX Factory Team. Olympic silver medallist in BMX racing at Tokyo 2020 — Great Britain's first ever Olympic BMX medal. Two-time Olympian. He's been on Supercross since he was 8 years old, racing British Plates on the brand from his earliest junior years.
Kye's father Nigel co-founded Peckham BMX Club — the South London track where Kye and his brothers Daniel and Tre learned to race. By age 13, Kye had won 10 consecutive British junior titles. A serious crash that year took him out almost a full season. He came back from it, kept stacking titles, and joined the Great Britain Cycling Team in 2017 as the eighth Peckham rider to make it to the national program.
As a senior Kye won his first UCI BMX Supercross World Cup in Manchester in April 2019, European Championship silver in Glasgow in 2018, the historic Tokyo 2020 Olympic silver, individual silver at the 2022 UCI BMX World Championships, and another World Cup at Brisbane in early 2024 — his first in five years. He competed at Paris 2024. In the same year he stepped outside the sport and onto Dancing on Ice UK. He races now on the Vision F1x in British Racing Matte Green — a Supercross paint built around him.

Beyond the Track
Peckham BMX Club
Kye's father Nigel co-founded Peckham BMX Club in South London — the track where Kye and his brothers Daniel and Tre learned to race. Peckham is one of the most respected club programs in British BMX. Kye was the eighth Peckham rider to make the Great Britain Cycling Team. The club's influence on British BMX is hard to overstate.
Dancing on Ice UK · 2024
Kye joined the cast of Dancing on Ice UK in 2024 — taking a BMX Olympian off the track and onto the ice in front of a national TV audience. Built more profile for him, more reach for the sport.
