As the largest bicycling membership group in North America, Adventure Cycling Association has been around for more then 30 years as the leading resource for bicycle travel adventures. Get a free info packet - we'll throw in a cool tube sticker too!

We research and produce cycling maps for the Adventure Cycling Route Network, one of the largest route networks in the world at 38,158 miles (and growing). We lead bike tours, publish Adventure Cyclist magazine for our membership, work on bicycle advocacy projects such as the U.S. Bicycle Route System, sell bike travel gear, and provide trip planning resources for bicycle travelers.

As a nonprofit organization, all proceeds from tours, sales, and membership go directly back into supporting our mission and programs.

Bike Routes and Maps
From cross-country epics to scenic regional loops, we have a cycling route for you. Plus we produce the best bicycling maps in the world, all based on the experience and direct input of thousands of riders. Updated annually, they lay the perfect foundation for independent adventure seekers, like Brian Becker from Buffalo, N.Y., who writes, "The maps are unbelievable – they have all the services for cyclists, the best ways to go, and there's no guesswork.” Explore our routes & maps.

Inspirational Magazines
If adventure is fueled by inspiration, our members-only magazine Adventure Cyclist is an inspiration pipeline. Adventure Cyclist features stories and photos from adventures around the globe as well as expert advice columns and gear reviews. Our Cyclists’ Yellow Pages is a 104-page compendium of bicycle travel resources from around the globe that Outside calls, “an indispensable resource for people wanting to plan their own routes.” These two valuable resources are only available to Adventure Cycling members, so join today to receive your copies!

Guided Rides
Since 1976, we have been organizing some of America’s top cycling adventures. We specialize in self-contained bike trips, where you carry your gear, and we provide a guide, maps, and a small number of equally energetic riding partners. We also provide supported cycling trips off-road and on-road, where you do the riding and we carry your gear and prepare hearty meals. Plus, we offer some of the most affordable rates anywhere.

The Best bicycle travel Gear
Great cycling adventures require great gear, and our Cyclosource store and print catalog sells trail-tested bike equipment, including trailers, panniers, tents, stoves, and riding-wear from companies like Cannondale, Ibex, Ortlieb, BOB, and MSR.
