SIOUXLAND CYCLISTS, INC.

We are a non-profit organization that promotes enjoyable and safe cycling.

Established in 1982

Each year, we organize a variety of bicycle rides to serve a wide range of interests and skill levels. In addition to road cycling, we offer activities for mountain bikers and gravel riders. Information about weekly club rides and specialty events are available on our Calendar / Events page and Facebook, Siouxland Cyclists.

Siouxland Cyclists also plays an active role in the Des Moines Register’s Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa (RAGBRAI®), supporting one of the nation’s premier cycling events.

Our members are committed to promoting cycling safety, particularly for families and beginner riders. We strongly encourage the use of helmets and collaborate with city officials through various boards and initiatives to advocate for safer cycling infrastructure.

In addition, many members actively support the development and enhancement of recreational trails throughout Siouxland. We remain committed to expanding trail opportunities in Sioux City. Club members also contribute their time and effort to maintaining mountain bike trails at Cone Park, Stone State Park, and Bacon Creek.

Is there a difference between official & unofficial rides?

Unofficial rides aren’t endorsed or hosted by Siouxland Cyclists. Members may lead the rides but they all aren’t formally supported by the organization.

What is a “No Drop Ride”?

A “No Drop Ride” means no one gets left behind. An experienced rider is at the tail of the group “sweep” to see if anyone has any problems. If there's a problem, they are there to help. This ensures that slower riders will be able to complete the ride without being left alone.  

IS SIOUXLAND CYCLISTS ONLY FOR EXPERIENCED AND PROFESSIONAL RIDERS?

No.  Our members include riders of all ages, abilities, and motivation!
