Violet Crown Cycling is an Austin-based nonprofit bicycle club and, according to the organization, Austin’s oldest cycling club. It welcomes cyclists of all ages, types, and abilities, bringing people together to promote the sport of cycling in Texas and beyond. The club offers weekly group rides for riders across ability levels, along with routes and opportunities to connect with the local cycling community.

Members interested in competition can take part in adult or junior racing programs, which provide structure, experience, and camaraderie, as well as access to training camps. Membership also supports the club and the wider local cycling community. Benefits include access to club events, deeply discounted team apparel, and discounts on goods and services from Mellow Johnny’s Bike Shop, club sponsors, and industry partners.

Membership starts at $45 per year, while junior membership costs $1. Whether riders are looking for a welcoming group ride, a pathway into racing, or ways to support cycling locally, Violet Crown Cycling offers a community-based place to get involved
