A Cycling Federation is an organization that oversees and promotes cycling activities within a specific region or country. It is responsible for organizing competitions, setting rules, and ensuring the safety and fairness of the sport. These federations often work with local clubs and teams to encourage participation at all levels, from amateur to professional cycling. In many countries, the Cycling Federation is affiliated with international bodies, such as the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), which governs global cycling events. They also play a role in developing cycling infrastructure, advocating for cyclists' rights, and promoting cycling as a sustainable mode of transportation.
