Looking To Become A Member?
Ontario Cycling has memberships for all types of cycling enthusiasts, tailored to all skills and abilities. Simply choose the membership that fits your personal needs. Every membership is valid from the date of issue until December 31 of the membership year. (ex. January 1, 2025 – December 31, 2025). Upgrading a membership is possible at any time if your needs change, and the best part is you only pay the difference in cost.
Membership Information
Community Membership
The Community membership is a flexible option, most ideal for those looking to ride in their local community, whether that be riding at an OC registered club, in an OC sanctioned Charity Ride/Event, or simply on their own. Individuals obtaining this membership are not required to be a member of an OC registered club; however, we always recommend considering joining an OC registered club to be able to take advantage of the numerous benefits (both physical and social) organized cycling clubs provide.
The OC Community Membership is recommended for anyone who:
· Rides recreationally or is a cycling commuter and wants to take advantage of 24/7 Accident Coverage. Be sure to have coverage anytime you ride your bike by purchasing this exclusive option for members
· Wants to join an OC registered club and partake in their recreational activities (including group rides & skill development programs)
· Is looking to participate in Intraclub (host club members only) events
· Wishes to participate in OC sanctioned Gran Fondos or Charity Rides · Wants access to organized insurance program while participating in sanctioned activities (Limited Sport Accident and Personal Liability vs other membership types)
· And anyone who enjoys training on their own in their community and wants access to Accident Insurance and other OC membership benefits
Challenge Membership
The Challenge membership is ideal for those looking to participate in developmental cycling competitions and activities including interclub races, weekly series events, regional events, and non-championship Ontario Cup and Provincial Championship categories.
The Challenge membership also includes everything you can take part in with a Community membership.
The OC Challenge Membership level is recommended for anyone who:
· Participates in club organized competitive events open to non-host club members including Time Trials, Criteriums, Pursuits, or MTB, Cyclo-Cross or Gravel Races
· Is interested in participating in OC sanctioned Regional events and competitions
· Wishes to participate in Youth Development Series events
· Wishes to race at Ontario Cups or Provincial Championships in our Non-Championship categories
· Wishes to have a vote at Ontario Cycling’s Annual Meeting
· Wants access to organized insurance program while participating in sanctioned UCI, National or OC events or club activities (Sport Accident and Personal Liability)
Compete Membership
The Compete membership is most appropriate for those racing in the highest-level categories in the province, including at Ontario Cups, and/or Championship categories at a Provincial Championship event.
The Compete membership also allows for participation in Challenge and Community member level events.
For National level events in Ontario, certain categories may be restricted to UCI License holders. Be sure to check the event technical guide prior to registering.
The OC Compete Membership level is recommended for anyone who:
· Races at Ontario Cups in the highest ability category levels
· Competes at Provincial Championship events in championship categories
· Plans to race at a National level event in Ontario, but NOT in a category requiring a UCI License
· Wishes to have a vote at Ontario Cycling’s Annual Meeting
· Wants access to organized insurance program while participating in sanctioned UCI, National or OC events or club activities (Sport Accident and Personal Liability)
The OC Club Day Pass is a great way for a non-OC member to first try-out a club to see if they want to join for the season. Club Day Passes ($20 for adults, $15 for youth) are available to participate in any club’s recreational activities (subject to their approval) and can be purchased right up until the activity starts.
The OC Club Day Pass is a risk free option for those who aren’t sure about joining a club for the season. If you enjoy your experience, and want to join for the remainder of the season, you can apply the cost of your OC Club Day Pass towards an annual membership for that season.
Contact the OC office for more details.
UCI Licenses
There are two types of UCI Licenses:
· Race – For those planning to compete in events requiring a UCI License
· Technical – For those who act in an official capacity as a Commissaire, Coach or Staff member at an event
The UCI Race License is most appropriate for those planning to race outside the province of Ontario (whether within Canada or internationally). It is also ideal for those looking to race in a Cycling Canada sanctioned category/event within the province of Ontario.
In addition to the above, it can be used in OC sanctioned events, from club activities to Provincial Championships.
The OC UCI Race License is recommended for anyone who:
· Is interested in racing outside the province of Ontario
· Plans to race at a National level event in Ontario in a category that requires a UCI Race License.
· Is interested in being eligible for specific High Performance Projects (based on pre-defined criteria)
· Wishes to have a vote at Ontario Cycling’s Annual Meeting
· Wants access to organized insurance program while participating in sanctioned UCI, National or OC events or club activities (Sport Accident and Personal Liability)
The OC UCI Technical License is recommended for anyone who:
· Is looking to act in an official capacity as an official, coach or staff member at an event (may need to meet certain requirements)
· Wishes to have a vote at Ontario Cycling’s Annual Meeting
· Wants access to organized insurance program while participating in sanctioned UCI, National or OC events or club activities (Sport Accident and Personal Liability)
Event Non-Member Permit
An Event Non-Member Permit is a great way for someone who is not an OC member to take a look at an OC sanctioned event (Criteriums and track racing not included.) Experience an OC sanctioned event for the first time and, should you enjoy your experience and want to continue, you can apply the cost of your first Non-Member Permit to an annual membership for that season.
Non-Member Permits may not be available at every event. Consult the Event’s Technical Guide for more information on availability and cost.
