Become an AusCycling Affiliated Riding Group

Clubs

Club members out for a social ride

Calling all social cycling groups!

AusCycling is passionate about making cycling the biggest sport in Australia, and that includes supporting all types of riders, even those who prefer a casual pace and friendly company.

We understand that not every group wants to become a formal club with a committee and official structure. That's why we offer the AusCycling Affiliated Riding Group program.

Benefits of Affiliation:

  • Public Liability Insurance: keep your members covered during group rides
  • Recognition: become an official part of the AusCycling community
  • Resources: access useful resources and newsletters
  • Group management: manage your group with ease through our member database
  • Member benefits: gain access to member benefits and discounts

Eligibility:

  • Your group is social or recreational, with no racing component
  • You don't have a formal club structure or committee
  • You have at least 5 members hold a current AusCycling Lifestyle or Lifestyle Basic membership. Any members who race and hold a primary club membership will need a Lifestyle Club Add-On membership

Affiliation Requirements:

  • There’s an annual fee of $250, which covers administration and platform access
  • Unlike a club, there’s no incorporation needed, so you can skip the legal hurdles

What You Don't Get:

There are a few differences between Affiliated Clubs and Riding Groups.  As an affiliated Riding Group, you won’t get access to:

  • Directors and Officers Insurance (not applicable to riding groups).
  • Voting Rights (reserved for affiliated clubs).
  • Sanctioned Race Permits (for organized events, contact your State AusCycling branch).

If these components are important to you, you may want to look at how to affiliate as a cycling club.
