A Cycling Association is an organization that promotes and supports cycling as a sport and recreational activity. These associations often organize events, competitions, and training programs for cyclists of all levels. They also work to improve cycling infrastructure and advocate for the rights of cyclists on the road. Many Cycling Associations are affiliated with national and international governing bodies, such as the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI). They provide resources, coaching, and safety information to help cyclists improve their skills and enjoy the sport safely. Additionally, they may offer membership benefits, including insurance and discounts on cycling gear.
