Join the Coburg Cycling Club
There are a few ways to become a part of the Club, and the Melbourne riding scene. All membership options are currently handled via AusCycling or Bicycle Network. Please have a look at the options below, but if you have any queries, or are not sure which license is best suited to you, just contact us, and we will make sure you have all the info you need to choose.
Non-racing Members
Option 1 – AusCycling “Ride” Membership
Whether it’s to prepare for a big event ride, like the Round-the-Bay, your commute to work, or just for the opportunity to ride with like-minded people, a recreational membership will give you access to rides and activities to help you become a safer, fitter and stronger rider.
Members enjoy:
- our club rides and training sessions at no cost
- 24/7 insurance on any bike, anywhere in Australia (see the AusCycling website for full coverage details)
- all our social events, including riding camps
- ability to race in any club-level Time Trial in the country (TBC)
You can join Coburg Cycling Club as a “Ride” Member and get immediate cover by clicking this link and following the instructions on screen: AusCycling Ride Membership and make sure to select ‘Coburg Cycling Club’ during the registration process.
For more information, simply contact us and one of our Committee members will contact you.
Option 2 – Bicycle Network Membership
For cyclists that have no intention to race, Bicycle Network offers multiple membership options that can cover both you and your family and also provide the opportunity to support and be part of the club.
A membership through Bicycle Network offers many different benefits compared to AusCycling membership. Many of our Coburg members actually have memberships with both organisations!

Racing Members
A “Club” or “Race” level AusCycling Licence is a requirement to start in any races at the Club, Combine and/or Open levels.
Racing members can enjoy:
- all Club and Northern Combine races, including time trials, track racing, our summer criteriums, Northern Combine road races and all other club-level racing (e.g. Kew Crits run by Hawthorn Cycling Club)
- 24/7 insurance on any bike, anywhere in Australia (see the AusCycling website for full coverage details)
- Club rides and training activities
If you wish to race at State or National level events, you will need the highest “Race” level membership option.
Racing Licences can be purchased online for immediate cover via: “Club” or “Race” Membership pages and make sure to select ‘Coburg Cycling Club’ during the registration process.
Want to Try Racing?
AusCycling offers a 30 Day Free Trial membership, which allows club-level racing in all disciplines.
If you want more information on any racing licences or membership, please contact us.
Non-Riding “Supporter” Members
If you want to support the club and be a member, but don’t actually ride yourself, you can sign up for a Supporter Membership. This helps us know the people out there who love our club, but for whatever reason don’t ride themselves.
Riding Members who already have an AusCycling Membership.
If you already have an AusCycling membership with another club, but also love attending the Coburg events, one option is to just sign up for a Supporter Membership with us. We love our members no matter who else they ride with! Depending on your existing membership level, you may be able to sign up for a different membership level with Coburg. Detailed instructions are on the Auscycling help page here.
