Cynisca /si’niss’kuh/ was a Spartan chariot racehorse trainer who became the first female Olympic champion in 396 & 392 BC. She broke barriers by entering in and winning the then male-only Olympics. Her legendary success provides inspiration to our young women cyclists today.
We are raising funds to place riders on European-based, Tour de France-level teams. We have already placed two riders, with more cyclists in the pipeline contingent on funding.
Cynisca Cycling is a non-profit organization dedicated to women in sports. The team, its partners, sponsors and supporters are making a long-term investment in the future of women’s cycling. Our mission is to help a diverse, young group of athletes and women in the cycling industry reach the top tiers of cycling both on and off the bike.
