Cycling has long been a male-dominated sport—but that’s changing. The Illinois Cycling Association (ICA) is committed to empowering more women to take their place on the roads, tracks, and trails across Illinois. Whether you’re new to cycling or a seasoned rider, ICA is your gateway to an incredible community of women who share a passion for riding and racing. No experience? No problem. We’re here to support you every step of the way.

From racing and training rides to charity events, there are countless opportunities to get involved, challenge yourself, and have fun. Join us and discover the strength, camaraderie, and excitement that cycling has to offer.

Let’s ride together—because the future of cycling is for everyone.
