COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (BRAIN) — USA Cycling is now offering a $50 annual Ride Membership, which offers recreational cyclists benefits including event accident medical coverage and a subscription to Bicycling.
"The 12-month Ride Membership allows cyclists to support Team USA Cycling and enjoy USA Cycling benefits, including: $25,000 of accident medical coverage at fun rides and gran fondos; a year-long Bicycling Magazine subscription; Team USA t-shirt, phone pouch and sticker; one-day racing license; insider tips and advice from Team USA Cycling coaches and athletes; and discounts with USA Cycling partners," the organization said.
The Ride Membership package is also available as an add-on for existing members for $30.
"USA Cycling as an organization is about more than just traditional racing. We want to support the growth of cycling more broadly," said USA Cycling CEO Derek Bouchard-Hall. "Gran fondos and fun rides are growing in popularity, and this is a fantastic trend we want to continue by supporting these events in the same way we do traditional bike races. Racing is at the core of what we do, and we are committed to improving our racing members' experience, but broadening our membership is the right thing to do to support the growth of our sport. This inclusive membership reflects how millions of Americans ride."
