Welcome to the Club Corner

2008 Clubs of the Year!

Congratulations to the 2008 Clubs of the Year, as determined by the staff and board of the League. If you think your club deserves to be on this list next year, contact your regional board member in the fall for details.

Region 1. Narragansett Bay Wheelmen (Rhode Island) The NBW is a stalwart member and supporter of the League’s education programs and is one of the largest and most active clubs in the Northeast. They offer hundreds of rides each year – there are maps for more than 150 great rides on their website – and maintain close connections with statewide and local advocacy issues, including the Providence Bicycle Coalition.

Region 2. Sussex Cyclists (Delaware)
Sussex Cyclists is a relatively new and small club that took the initiative to address a high bicycle crash rate among international workers in the Delaware shore area.

Region 3. Richmond Area Bicycle Association (Virginia)
A long-standing League affiliate with an incredible ride schedule – a dozen members rode more than 100 club rides in 2008, including one who rode on 245 rides – and an increasingly active role in local advocacy and charitable activities.

Region 4. Silver Wheels Cycling Club (Ohio)
This group has very active members, a strong embrace of the League's Bicycle Friendly Community program, and often serves as a host for League programs

Region 5. Twin Cities Bicycling Club Club (Minnesota)
The Twin Cities Bicycle Club boasts one of the most extensive and well-run ride programs in the country and one of the most informative websites around.

Region 5. Colorado Springs Cycling Club (Colorado)
The Colorado Springs group offers every kind of ride from beginner to monstrous hill climbing and advocates locally for bicycle trails, lanes, paths and rider support facilities throughout the Pikes Peak region.

Region 6. Conejo Valley Cyclists (California)
The CVC’s members are our members, and they have recently been getting quite involved in making Thousand Oaks and surrounding communities more bicycle friendly. This year they celebrate the 25th anniversary running of the Cruisin the Conejo ride.
