Who We Are

OUR MISSION
Adventure Cycling Association’s nonprofit mission is to inspire people of all ages to travel by bicycle for fitness, fun, and self-discovery. Founded in 1973 as Bikecentennial, Adventure Cycling is the premier bicycle travel organization in North America with 44,500 members nationwide. We are headquartered in Missoula, Montana.

As a nonprofit, all proceeds from tours, sales, and membership go directly back into supporting our mission and programs.

EXPLORE OUR ROUTES & MAPS
We research, develop, and sell maps for 38,158 miles of routes in America and bits of Canada. Explore the Adventure Cycling Route Network to learn more about our routes, and the maps that we create specifically for cyclists. Visit our online store to purchase maps.

USE THE CYCLISTS' YELLOW PAGES TO RESEARCH YOUR TRIP
The Cyclists' Yellow Pages is a worldwide resource guide for bicycle travelers. Use this resource to plan your own bicycle adventures. You can search for bicycle maps, guide books, tour operators, bike shops, U.S. Bicycle and Pedestrian Office information, plus much more.

JOIN A GUIDED BICYCLE TOUR
We offer a wide variety of bicycle tours for all levels of experience, including self-contained, supported, and educational trips.

GET INSPIRED WITH ADVENTURE CYCLIST MAGAZINE
As our member publication, Adventure Cyclist is full of inspiring bicycle travel stories and fantastic photography from all over the world. Adventure Cycling members receive nine issues of the magazine a year. Read past articles from Adventure Cyclist magazine in our Publications Archive.

LEARN HOW TO TRAVEL BY BICYCLE
Our online How-To Department provides educational articles that answer many of the most frequently asked questions about selecting appropriate gear, tour planning, packing lists, training, packing your bike for shipping, and much more.

BUY GEAR FOR BICYCLE TRAVEL
Our Cyclosource online store carries bicycle travel gear, clothing, our maps, and much more.

Adventure Cycling is America's bicycle travel inspiration and resource, offering many resources for cyclists. We create bike routes and maps for our Adventure Cycling Route Network, lead bike tours, publish Adventure Cyclist magazine for our membership, work on bicycle advocacy projects such as the U.S. Bicycle Route System, sell bike gear, and provide bicycle travel information.
