SIOUXLAND CYCLISTS, INC. WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1982.
WE ARE A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT PROMOTES ENJOYABLE AND SAFE CYCLING.
Each year we organize many different types of bicycle rides. In addition to road biking, we have activities for mountain bikers and bicycle racers. Details for weekly club rides and other specialty rides are found on facebook under Siouxland Community Cycling group.
Siouxland Cyclists play an active role in the Des Moines Register's Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa (RAGBRAI®).
Club members also work to promote safety for family and beginning cyclists. The club strongly encourages all cyclists to use helmets. Club members work with city officials on several boards to promote safe cycling.
Additionally, many members actively promote recreational trails in Siouxland and look forward to more success in establishing trails in Sioux City. We also have club members active with maintaining the mountain bike trails at Stone State Park and Bacon Creek.
