Cynisca Chariot Club
Join the movement!
Proudly Wear Cynisca Colors and Show Your Support for Women in Cycling
The Cynisca Chariot Club includes club riders, cycling enthusiasts, team friends, donors and anyone who believes in advancing women cyclists and encouraging more girls to ride.
The number of girls and women participating at all levels of sports—from physical activity to professional sports—has boomed over the past 40 years. Yet funding and support for women’s sports has trailed far behind. Cynisca aims to make a difference by helping more women cyclists compete at the international level. In turn, these young riders are role models in their communities for others to enjoy the benefits of cycling. Your generosity helps fund the non-profit Cynisca Cycling’s mission to advance women in the sport of cycling, both on and off the bike.

Why sponsoring women’s cycling makes sense: As advocates, role models and brand stewards, women athletes drive unparalleled value through engaged relationships with their fans.
- 89% of sports fans are more inspired to take action when partners and/or brands are associated with women athletes.
- Fans perceive women athletes as positive role models who are trustworthy, exemplify excellence and are inspirational.
- Women athletes are unlocking the next generation of powerful fans, as their fan base is younger, more educated, more affluent and outpacing on content engagement rates. (SOURCE: Wasserman )
