Bicycle Colorado and USA Cycling

We are very pleased to continue our pioneering paired membership relationship between Bicycle Colorado and USA Cycling (USAC). This paired membership will continue in 2024!

This paired-membership model includes a Racing Membership with Bicycle Colorado ($40 value) with your purchase of a RACE or RACE+ Membership with USA Cycling! This new membership model delivers immediate benefits to participants, who save money and time with this simplified one-stop shopping experience. Athletes will be automatically included in local event update emails and will be eligible for Colorado State Championships.

Go to USA Cycling to purchase your individual RACE Membership. USAC will share relevant information with Bicycle Colorado.

Clubs are not included in this paired membership model. We offer Club Memberships at $100 for the calendar year.

We’re thrilled to see so many people out enjoying (and often rediscovering the joy of) riding a bike right now, and we’re asking ALL bicyclists to do their part to prevent the spread of #covid19 by wearing a mask or other face covering when out for a ride. Doing so keeps you, your loved ones, those around you, and all Coloradans safer while helping reduce stress on our medical system. If you still need a mask, click the link in our bio to pre-order one now and support our advocacy work! Thanks so much to everyone who has already purchased, and to @primalwear for supporting our efforts over the years. Ride on.
  • #BicycleColorado volunteers and staff members spent time today helping @denverurbangardens and @denverfoodrescue deliver “Grow a Garden” food boxes to home-bound families in Denver—via bike! Supporting our community on two wheels makes for a great way to spend a sunny day. Many thanks to our friends @ddchen47, David M., and @juggernautcargo for your help! Head to denverfoodrescue.org or dug.org to learn more about these great local organizations. #rideyourbike
  • Tonight the #BicycleColorado team celebrated Stacey, our outgoing Development Director, with a virtual happy hour. Stacey has been an absolute rockstar for BC. We’re sad to see her leave, but thrilled for her as she heads out on a new adventure (hopefully in the #BikeAdvocacy space!) in North Carolina. Please join us in wishing her well!
