WHY JOIN ST KILDA CYCLING CLUB?
At St Kilda Cycling Club (SKCC), it’s all about the people—where cycling is the glue that holds us together. We’re more than just a club; we’re a thriving, inclusive community that celebrates every kind of cyclist, from those taking their first pedal strokes to elite athletes sharpening their skills.
Our club prioritises friendships, camaraderie, and the shared experience of smooth and stylish riding. It’s about the laughs, the coffee stops, and the passion we share for cycling. We’re light on egos, rules, and bureaucracy but big on common sense and doing the right thing together.
As one of Australia’s largest clubs members and boasting the highest percentage of female members in Australia, SKCC is one of Victoria’s most dynamic and inclusive cycling communities. We cater to all levels of cyclists—whether you’re looking for a casual social ride, serious training sessions, or a place to stay sharp as a high-performance athlete.
Here’s what makes SKCC unique:
- Rides for Everyone: Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned racer, we have rides to suit your needs. With weekday rides every morning, you’ll find the perfect group for your fitness level and goals. From casual spins with coffee stops to fast-paced training rides, SKCC has something for everyone.
- Social at Heart: We’re as much about the social side of cycling as we are about the riding. Our legendary post-ride coffee stops and social events, like our Tour de France nights, bring everyone together. You don’t have to be racing to enjoy SKCC—you just have to love riding and having fun.
- Champions Among Us: Our members have achieved greatness on the world stage—Olympic and Paralympic medals, World Championships, and national titles. But we’re just as proud of the fact that we’re an inclusive club, welcoming everyone from the first-time rider to the champion. At SKCC, we ride together, no matter the level.
- Iconic Kit: You’ve probably seen our members out on the road in our iconic club kit—it’s become a recognizable badge of pride in Melbourne. SKCC members get exclusive access to our carefully designed kit that makes you stand out both on and off the bike.\
- Affordable Membership: We’ve made joining SKCC easier than ever. With our lifestyle membership, for the cost of just a few coffees a month, you can enjoy all the benefits of being a member—joining rides, purchasing club kit, participating in club events, and even voting in club matters.
- Big Club, Individual Focus: We may be one of the biggest cycling clubs in the country, but we always put our members first. We value every individual’s journey and make sure there’s a place for everyone to ride, socialize, and feel at home.
- Beyond the City: SKCC doesn’t just stick to the city streets. We take our passion for cycling beyond Melbourne with training camps, gravel rides, and longer club adventures. There’s always something happening to keep you motivated and inspired.
Cycling is what brings us together, but it’s the people and the community that make SKCC special. If you want to be part of a club that values camaraderie, social connection, and great rides—while offering opportunities to grow as a cyclist at any level—then join SKCC today.
It’s more than just a club, it’s a lifestyle. #WeAreSKCC
