Members

Here is what some of our members say about us:

"... because I believe in what the BRBC represents, which is foremost the opportunity for experienced cyclists, moderate cyclists, as well as people/families new to riding, to enjoy riding recreationally with others of like minds. I believe in the different advocacies that the BRBC supports, and I generally feel it's a wonderful club for people to meet others and develop friendships..."

"What makes the BRBC exciting is that we've got great people who cover a wide range of cycling interests, and we've got roads and trails to match our people. I'm a member because I believe that cycling in Western North Carolina can be safer and more enjoyable, and that the BRBC is helping to make it so."
