The St. Catharines Cycling Club recognized the need and the importance of having relationships with all the cycling clubs in the Niagara Region and founded the Niagara Cycling Clubs Alliance (NCCA).

The NCCA is composed of the St. Catharines Cycling Club, Amici per la Vita Niagara Cycling Club, Niagara Freewheelers Bicycle Touring Club, Forza Niagara Cycling Club, Bikefit Sunflowers Cycling Club and the Short Hills Cycling Club, to promote their passion, the sport of cycling.

The NCCA boasts of rider membership that well exceeds 1,000 athletes and club memberships are marketed to the general public of all ages and all level of cycling abilities.  All NCCA clubs welcome and accept young riders!

St. Catharines Cycling Club President and co-founder of the NCCA, Wally Tykoliz, stated the member clubs are all incorporated, nonprofit and insured athletic clubs and meet regularly to address mutual concerns and ideas about cycling in the Niagara Region.  Further, each member club is unique from each other and specializes in the different disciplines cycling and types of rides.

Tykoliz cited, if a cyclist wanted to join a club that trains its members to ride fast and race, the famous racing club, the St. Catharines Cycling Club will take you to the podium!

Niagara’s only mountain biking club exclusively for women, the Bikefit Sunflowers, is a member club that offers a very specialized training program for their women only members.  The pioneer club of mountain biking in the Niagara Region is the Short Hills Cycling Club.  Any rider who rides a maintained trail in Niagara can be sure the Short Hills Cycling Club membership had a spade and rake in it!

The Amici per la Vita Niagara Cycling Club  “Friends for Life” cycling club based in Niagara Falls, offers specialized destination rides to their membership.  The Forza Niagara Cycling Club provides a fun, friendly, structured ride with an emphasis on skills, development and etiquette for its members.

And finally, Niagara Freewheelers Bicycle Touring Club, boasts their members are the most friendly, kind and absolutely nicest people you would ever want to ride with…….where no one is left behind!

The NCCA is also looking forward to involvement in the 2021 Canada Summer Games’ cycling component hopefully to be held in the Niagara Region.  The NCCA’s peloton of volunteers stands ready to be deployed to support the Canada Summer Games.
