INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP MEMBERS
Our 44,500 individual and group (clubs, shops) members are the lifeblood of our association. We would not exist without their exceptional, steadfast support. Revenue from these memberships allows us to provide all of our essential membership services, including route development and mapping, Adventure Cyclist magazine, The Cyclists' Yellow Pages resource directory, and this website.
LIFE MEMBERS
Life Members help provide financial security for the future of Adventure Cycling Association. The funds from over 1,400 Life Memberships are restricted to provide long-term support for the association. In the past, Life Member funds have helped us purchase our headquarters building, saving the association thousands of dollars in interest payments.
CORPORATE MEMBERS
Corporate Members are companies that believe in what we do and want to offer special assistance through a higher level of support. Corporate Membership funds go toward special projects and to help launch new programs, such as Outreach and Education.

PARTNERS & SPONSORS
We work closely with other associations and corporations who support our mission.
Here are our current national partners:
- AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) After over 20 years of inactivity, AASHTO’s Task Force for U.S. Numbered Bicycle Routes reconvened with a new collaborative project – involving AASHTO, the FHWA, State DOTs, and leading national non-profits – to create an official, urban/rural United States Bike Route Network, similar to ones being developed across Europe and Canada. AASHTO is the non-profit go-to organization for policy development and planning. Adventure Cycling Association, in addition to serving on the Task Force, provides staff support to help see this project through to completion.
- America Bikes We participate on the board of directors of this coalition, which includes the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals, Bikes Belong, International Mountain Bicycling Association, League of American Bicyclists, National Center for Bicycling & Walking, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, and Thunderhead Alliance. The League of American Bicyclists is one of our favorites because of its dedication to making America more bicycle-friendly -- from advocating for better bicycle accommodations on the roadways to leading a campaign called "Safe Routes to School" for our nation's youngsters.
- National Park Service The National Park Service has provided funding for routes that complement national scenic trails, such as the new Tidewater Potomac Heritage Bicycle Route (which lies within a portion of the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail corridor). The NPS is also a resource for our newest route, the Underground Railroad Bicycle Route. The NPS Network to Freedom program is a virtual park, providing a vast amount of historic information about the people and places related to the Underground Railroad.
- U.S. Bureau of Land Management This governmental entity was an invaluable resource during development of our Great Divide Mountain Bike Route, much of which runs through BLM and other public lands.
- USDA Forest Service Along with the BLM, this group assisted greatly with development of the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route. Individual national forests in Oregon, West Virginia, and Wyoming have also partnered with us to produce mountain biking maps.
- Center for Minority Health Located in the Graduate School of Public Health at the University of Pittsburgh, The Center for Minority Health (CMH) partnered with us in 2004 to map and promote the Underground Railroad Route. Our shared interest lies in providing an opportunity for cyclists to learn more about one of the most challenging cultural struggles in our nation’s history while promoting the joys and health benefits of traveling by bicycle.
