Support UCLA Cycling!

The UCLA Cycling team is a team open to all who want to explore the sport of cycling, whether it's road biking, mountain biking, or both. Whether you have extensive racing experience or don’t own a bike, we are happy to have everyone join the team and develop a love of cycling! Over the years, we have created a strong community that enjoys casual rides along the ocean just as much as competing at Nationals. As we navigate the often-stressful collegiate years, having cycling and this team to lean on has provided our members with a healthy and constant focus and goal.

Our Goal

However, cycling is a very expensive sport. The cost of getting and maintaining a safe road or mountain bike are already very high for a college student to bear. Over the course of their time on the team, many members decide to race. Race season takes us all over California, from Berkeley to San Diego, which means 5 or more weekends of travel throughout the state. This is a costly endeavor, between the cost of coaching, hotels, gas, nutrition and race registration fees.

Every year, we also host two weekend-long team camps where members can sharpen their group riding skills in preparation for the upcoming race season and build lasting friendships. For the first time this year, we’re bringing both mountain bikers and road bikers together at team camp to foster unity between the two groups, which have traditionally been more separate. While our team already requires dues to join, unfortunately these are not enough to cover all the opportunities we want to offer our members throughout a season. 

The Solution

As we strive to maintain the cost of participation in our sport as low as possible, we need your help to support our teammates as they race throughout California! Countless UCLA students have found their place on this team, from the road or mountain bike squads to the coffee-ride or nationals-winning riders. 

Assuming our funding goal of $2,000 is met, we plan to use your gifts according to the following breakdown:

We believe that cycling, in whatever form it takes for each cyclist, is worth supporting in order to allow more Bruins to experience the joy of it in a welcoming, supportive environment. 

Thank you—we can’t wait to see you in the saddle!
