The Arizona Bicycle Club (ABC) is an organization founded in 1964, which for over 45 years has served to improve the quality of life in Arizona by supporting bicycling. Through advocacy, education, and organized rides, tours, and events, ABC emphasizes the positive effects of the bicycle in providing transportation, recreation, sportsmanship, and good health. Affiliated with the League of American Bicyclists, the Arizona Bicycle Club is effective in advocating the use of bicycles as a non-polluting means of travel, and in protecting the rights of Arizona cyclists to safely share our roads and paths with other users, and to increase the bicycle-friendliness of our state's highways and byways.
If you are looking for an automobile to get you and your bike to your next ride, ChapmanAZ has a great selection of new and used cars in Phoenix AZ.
Meetings of the Board of Directors of ABC are held the first Wednesday of each month either at Amerischool located at 1333 W Camelback Rd. Phoenix Az 85013, or online via Go To Meeting. The buisness meeting begins at 7pm. If you go to the calendar and register attend you will be notified the details you need to attend.

The Movie is available to check out. reserve movie now “YOU NEVER BIKE A LONE” was released in 2007 and is a documentary that looks at the development of vibrant bike culture in Vancouver, Canada, and how the city's self-propelled population are mobilizing to promote the bicycle as a viable for of transport. You Never Bike Alone shows how the foundations for today's burgeoning bike scene in the city was set in the early Nineties when cyclists risked arrest by cycling en masse to publicize unsafe road conditions and rides of the mid-Nineties which were sometimes characterized by arrests. Rides with mutant bike collective MC3, The Wholesome Undie (an underwear ride where cyclists protest the Molson Indy), and the World Naked Bike Ride, provide amusing and entertaining spectacle, while the film also shows how cyclists are dealing with road rage and the political struggle at municipal and provincial levels to create a more livable city.
