Empowering Riders,
Advancing Equality,
Securing Futures

The Cyclists’ Alliance is the independent voice of women’s professional cycling.

Founded and led by former and current professional riders, The Cyclists’ Alliance exists to represent female riders of the pro peloton, and to support cyclists at every stage of their careers. Driven by a shared commitment to “strive for fairness”, we advocate for equal opportunities, better working conditions, and a future where every rider can thrive and earn a sustainable living in the sport. Join the movement driving real change in women’s cycling – whether as a rider or supporter, your involvement can make a real difference.
