Ciclismo SA Bicycle Club General Information


 

Welcome to your bike club!

The Ciclismo SA Bicycle Club is a volunteer, non-profit organization oriented to enhancing the sport of cycling by promoting racing and riding skills.  The club is open to all those with cycling interests and supports cyclists with varied focus; from road and mountain bike riding to cycling in triathlons. The club's roster contains riders with varying degrees of personal goals, but anyone, regardless of skill level or expertise, is welcome. We just ask that you enjoy cycling!

The goal of the club is to promote racing and riding skills while emphasizing cycling as a fun, relaxing activity which can be used for physical fitness and personal growth. Ciclismo SA's financial support comes from member contributions and sponsorships from local area businesses.

Ciclismo SA - Official Member of the USCF & NORBA

As a club oriented to promoting racing and riding skills, Ciclismo SA achieves a higher level of recognition and credibility by being a member club of both the United States Cycling Federation (USCF: club # 6755) and the National Off-Road Bicycle Association (NORBA: club # 5755). Ciclismo SA strongly recommends that all its riders become licensed through either the USCF or NORBA (or both).

The USCF and NORBA serve as the national governing bodies for amateur road bike racing and mountain biking, creating and maintaining standard rules and rider categories.   As not-for-profit entities, the USCF and NORBA offer to members of all abilities racing opportunities by sanctioning road and off-road events nationwide. As support. the USCF and NORBA provide racing memberships, scheduling assistance, race officials, a monthly national publication for road and mountain bikers, and other materials to bike clubs that organize road or off-road bike events. Both the USCF and NORBA are divisions of USA Cycling where they share resources, but maintain autonomy in the governance and policy setting for their particular areas of cycling. 

Ciclismo SA also enthusiastically supports the sport of triathlon and the club encourages its triathletes to support and join the national triathlon governing body, USA Triathlon.

In addition, many club members also support and are members of other local clubs such as the San Antonio Wheelmen Touring Club and the South Texas Off Road Mountain-Bikers club.
