National Cycling Federations are organizations that govern and promote the sport of cycling within a specific country. They are responsible for organizing competitions, developing cycling programs, and supporting athletes at various levels. These federations also work to ensure that cycling adheres to international standards set by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI). In addition to managing competitive cycling, National Cycling Federations often focus on grassroots initiatives to encourage participation in cycling among the general public. They may offer training programs, safety campaigns, and resources for local clubs, fostering a love for cycling and promoting a healthy lifestyle within their communities.
