Our History

Since its establishment in the mid-1970s, the Bloomington Bicycle Club has been a cornerstone of the cycling community, enriching the lives of many through our passion for cycling and community engagement. We strive to bring joy to Bloomington-area cyclists through our organized rides and supportive environment. The club is a 501(c)4 organization.

Over the years, we have evolved to meet the changing needs of our members, and we always try to provide high-quality cycling experiences for our members. We are committed to promoting cycling and fostering a sense of belonging for all cyclists in Bloomington.
