BICYCLE SHOP MEMBERSHIP
Bicycle shops represent a crucial link in our efforts to reach cyclists who want to locate great places to ride and to travel by bicycle. We recognize that you, as a shop owner, manager, mechanic, or salesperson, are key in promoting the use of the bicycle as a travel tool. We'd like to collaborate with you to add value to the services you already offer to cyclists in your community.
At Adventure Cycling Association, our mission is to inspire individuals to get on their bikes and ride, and we provide the highest quality resources -- maps, periodicals, training, website, and more -- to help them do just that. Route development and mapping is the heart and soul of what we do, and our Adventure Cycling Route Network, with over 38,158 miles of mapped routes, is testimony of our dedication to the touring cyclist.
How about joining us in providing cyclists in your community with our valuable touring resources?

BICYCLE CLUB MEMBERSHIP
Many cyclists receive their first exposure to the excitement of bicycle touring when they join a bicycle club. Clubs represent a system of bike-touring hubs throughout the cycling world and are an active and vital component of our campaign, "Getting Americans Cycling." Interests range from touring and community outreach through special events to advocacy, bike commuting, and school programs. The National Bicycle Club Network connects these hubs through information and resources and provides them with a vehicle to promote their special events and programs.
Adventure Cycling Association is celebrating 30 years of providing bicycle travel information to touring cyclists in North America and around the world. Our mission is to inspire individuals to get on their bikes and ride, and we provide the highest quality resources -- maps, periodicals, training, website, and more -- to help them do just that.
