Who are we?

We’re the guy next store with the 20 year old cruiser. We’re the lady down the street that never actually drives a car. We’re also the families taking a spin in the park or heading to school and the guy that can’t wait to get home and put 50 miles on before dinner. We are a group of individuals that want to promote bicycling as safe, fun, exciting, addicting, a great form of transportation, environmentally friendly and a great way to meet new friends. We’re also a non profit organization that will use our strength in numbers to benefit our members.

Membership

The members of MiCo VELO  are what makes the club special.  If you are ready to experience what the Miami County Velo Cycling Club has to offer sign up today.

Membership is open to any person that considers themselves a cyclist or would like to become a cyclist. We define a cyclist as anyone that enjoys time in the saddle of their trusty bike. Doesn’t matter how far, how long, how fast or how skilled you are, if you ride a bike, we want you to be a part of us. Even if you don’t ride but would like to see things become a little more bicycle friendly, we want you.

Mission

The mission of MiCo Velo Cycling Club is to promote bicycling as a sport, an alternative  means of transportation, a safe and fun way to exercise in all of Miami County and it’s communities.

Meetings

Meetings are open to all, please join us to socialize, talk a bit about the club, and hopefully enjoy some good food and beverages while we are at it.  Issues that require a vote can be voted on by members only. Check out the Calendar for our next meeting.  Also, you may review the minutes of our past meetings.

Club Rides

It is our goal to establish scheduled group rides that will satisfy your on-road and/or off-road desires.  Exact schedule is subject to change however expect three or more days of scheduled rides in the area. Participate as much as you can and feel free to lead a ride! We would love to see people stepping up in each of our communities.

If there is enough interest, we’ll host training rides as well for those that are new to cycling or even those that would like to brush up on their skills!

Race Team

Ah, competition. Think you are pretty fast and want to be on a race team? Ok, maybe you’re not the fastest but want to test your endurance and mental toughness? While we don’t have a race team yet we like the idea and would love to know about your interest. Besides traveling to other races, we’d like to host and promote our own. Events like this bring people to the community, boost the economy, and bring an awareness to our causes. Pick your poison: road, mountain bike, endurance or bursts of speed, we’re open to any and all suggestions. Plus, you’ll get a really cool bike jersey to wear…
