NICA

NICA exists because of the generous support of our founding partners, national partners, and donors like you. If the interscholastic cycling movement moves you, please consider donating and help get one more kid on a bike!

NICA is More Than Racing...

NICA began as a race organization. Over the years, NICA has expanded to be inclusive of many stories: from trail stewardship, to girls riding together, to adventure by bike, our programs showcase the depth of our community and initiatives.

Coach Education Program

The purpose of the NICA Coach Education Program is to deliver comprehensive training to NICA coaches that provides the knowledge, skills and abilities to provide quality programming to NICA student-athletes. Quality coach education is the cornerstone to developing great youth coaches who can support the mission and vision of NICA.

From challenging norms to shaping freedom, women have been pivotal in the history of cycling. ๐ŸŒŸ

In the late 19th century, bicycles symbolized empowerment, allowing women mobility and independence. ๐ŸŒˆ

Today, women continue to lead in mountain biking, breaking down barriers and shaping an inclusive community. โœŠ
