About Us
Who We Are
AusCycling works across all aspects of cycling and riding in Australia, from grassroots to elite. We represent all disciplines and participants at every step of their riding journey.
Formed in November 2020 from 19 separate governing bodies, our goal is to unite, connect and grow cycling and riding in a sustainable, innovative, and inclusive way.
We represent more than 50,000 members and 450 clubs and proudly run the High Performance program which takes our elite athletes to the Olympics, Paralympics, World and National Championships and more.
Our ambition is to be a global leader in cycling, respected for our positive impact on and off the bike. We exist to ensure that current and future generations experience both the simple joy of riding a bike, and the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Our Vision
We aim to ignite Australia’s passion for getting on a bike, to advocate for rider safety, to establish strong and inclusive communities and make all forms of riding and cycling safe and enjoyable.
Our Recognition
AusCycling is the official voice of cycling in Australia. We’re recognised by major national and international organisations like:
- Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI): The world governing body of cycling,

This official status allows us to:

- Partner on Olympic and Commonwealth Games bids: We're part of the team working to bring these prestigious events to Australia, like the upcoming 2032 Brisbane Olympics.
