ten great Reasons to be a League affiliated Club

1. Insurance.
Quality coverage for general club liability and special events at competitive rates. Current general liability club premiums are as low as $1.69 per club member. A special event can be covered for as low as $93. Managed by American Specialty Insurance, underwritten by the most respected names in the business and with top-notch customer service, this benefit is our most popular.

2. Free Advertising in the American Bicyclist Almanac.
No bicycle club should be left out of this cyclist must-have issue. All current League-affiliated clubs are printed in this directory and each club receives one FREE advertisement for their signature cycling event.

3. Bicycling and American Bicyclist: $15 for Members.
We help clubs grow their membership by offering individual League memberships for only $15 annually if the whole club signs up. For almost half off the regular price clubs can provide their members 11 issues of Bicycling magazine, 4 issues of American Bicyclist, discount bike shipping and much more.

4. Ride and Club Promotion.
Tell millions of cyclists about your club and its events using our magazine and our website. Each League-affiliated club receives a privately managed listing on our zip-code searchable bicycling database.

5. Club Resources and Technical Assistance.
The League can offer assistance on a variety of topics such as tax-deductability and incorporation guidelines and local cycling laws and ordinances.

6. Bike Education Tools.
As part of our BikeEd program we can help clubs create an education program to meet the needs of their club. We can arrange for a new member orientation course or even a leader training. Our latest offering is the 22 minute DVD, Enjoy the Ride.

7. Club Leader Networking.
Our regularly scheduled Club Representative Conference Calls enables club leaders from all over the country to talk to their peers about the issues of the day such as special event insurance requirements, trends in membership and how to handle hostile riding environments.

8. Cue Sheet.
The Cue Sheet is our quarterly newsletter developed specifically for bike clubs. It covers current bicycling club trends, overall trends and news in bicycling, what the League is working on and what clubs are doing to thrive and grow.

9. Club Enews.
The Club Enews is a regular email update from the Executive Director of the League. This insiders view keeps club leaders in touch with important developments at the League.

10. Promote and Protect the Rights of Cyclists.
Promoting and protecting the rights of cyclists takes a unified, national voice. Changing attitudes about cycling so that we are respected and welcomed on the road requires all bicycle clubs to work together.
