The Georgia Cycling Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to enabling middle and high school students to strengthen body, mind, and character through the lifelong sport of cycling. Founded in 2013, we facilitate the development of interscholastic cycling teams across the state of Georgia in an equal and inclusive environment. Our programs are open to all Georgia students regardless of ability and emphasize leadership, teamwork among peers, positive sporting behavior, and the cultivation of health over the competition.
