Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Disaster Aid, Recreational Clubs, Safety Education, Sports
Mission: The Tri-City Bicycle Club (TCBC) attracts riders of various ages and riding abilities. We are a "touring" club, meaning the emphasis is on the joy and adventure of cycling, not competition. Organized weekend rides are scheduled year-round and are open to any rider wearing a bicycle helmet. It is our policy never to leave anyone behind or stranded. The club encourages bicycle riding for recreation, better health, and transportation. It supports its members and the community by holding recreational rides and social events. The club is an active advocate for the safety and interests of bicyclists and conducts bicycle safety programs for adults and children.
