Cyclo Sportif to BWA – A History
About this page
Bicycling Western Australia has recently evolved in scope from what was originally named Cyclo Sportif Club of Australia Inc.
Cyclo Sportif was established in 2004, its purpose to represent ALL cyclists and to get more people cycling more often, offering safe and fun participation rides. Our members strongly supported Cyclo Sportif through these initial stages, and we soon grew to over 5,000 members- making us the largest cycling body in Western Australia.
Today, we understand the need to serve a wider purpose for our dedicated members.
We feel that in order to form a stronger voice in the cycling community, we must grow to embody a broader organisation to better represent your needs as a WA bike rider.
Thus was born Bicycling Western Australia (BWA).
Under the BWA umbrella, the Be Active Cyclo Sportif Series remains unchanged. The successful Cyclo Sportif series remains exactly the same as previous years, offering 6 participation team-style events in favourite and new locations each year.
Increasing the scope of our organisation as BWA has allowed us to offer significantly improved membership benefits as part of our membership package. We are also now better equipped to become a strong voice in WA, promoting the interest of bike riders to local and state organisations.
BWA, like Cyclo Sportif, is still owned collectively by its members, WA based and investing in the future of WA cycling.
We hope you find this organisational growth as exciting as we have, and we encourage you to join us for the ride in 2010 and the years to come.
