What is the Arizona Bicycle Club?
The Arizona Bicycle Club (ABC) is an organization which for over 30 years
has served to improve the quality of life in Arizona by supporting bicycling.
Through advocacy, education, and organized rides, tours, and events, ABC emphasizes
the positive effects of the bicycle in providing transportation, recreation,
sportsmanship, and good health. Affiliated with the
League of American Bicyclists, the Arizona Bicycle Club is effective in
advocating the use of bicycles as a non-polluting means of travel, and in
protecting the rights of Arizona cyclists to safely share our roads and paths
with other users, and to increase the bicycle-friendliness of our state's
highways and byways.
The officers and board members of the Arizona
Bicycle Club are an all-volunteer group, committed to the growth and improvement
of bicycling. All meetings of the Club membership and board are open to the
public, and ABC actively solicits input from all concerned individuals in
club management and operations.
The Arizona Bicycle Club sponsors over 400 different
bicycle rides per year. Every Sunday morning, cyclists meet at 5 or 6
different locations in the metropolitan Phoenix area for breakfast rides.
These no-charge (except for breakfast) rides attract hundreds of cyclists
every week. ABC also sponsors fully supported overnight tours throughout the
year along many scenic Arizona highways and trails, and works with charitable
agencies to support large fund-raising bicycle events which help Arizona communities.
Helmets are required for all ABC sanctioned events.
Meetings of the Board of Directors of the Arizona Bicycle Club are held every first Wednesday of each month at 7:00 PM at the Los Olivos Senior Center, on the northeast corner of 28th Street and Devonshire (just north of Indian School Rd.),Phoenix. All members and interested members of the public are welcome to attend.
The November meeting of the ABC Board is the Annual Meeting of the Club. At this meeting, the members of the Club elect members of the Board of Directors to serve in future terms. All ABC members are strongly urged to attend this meeting and take part.
