More About Us.
The mission of Adventure Cycling Association is to inspire people of all ages to travel by bicycle. We help cyclists explore
the landscapes and history of America for fitness, fun, and self-discovery.
Established in 1973 as Bikecentennial, Adventure Cycling is the premier bicycle travel organization in North America with 43,500 members nationwide. We are headquartered in Missoula, Montana.
As a nonprofit organization, all proceeds from tours, sales, and membership go directly back into supporting our mission and programs. (New to Adventure Cycling? Get a free info packet -- we'll throw in a cool tube sticker too!)
