The Cyclists' Alliance

Some of these riders are actually asked to pay for some expenses, travel expenses, health insurance expenses, and expenses that might relate to injury, recovery.

So that kind of information is what the Cyclists Alliance gathers in their annual surveys to see, you know, who is paying for what and how some of these riders are actually managing their careers at these lower levels.

Yeah, I want to ask you about the Cyclists Alliance.

You helped to create this in your final years of competing.

What does it do?

So I didn't feel like I was really jeopardizing my place.

in the sport and that it was time for me to start giving back.

So we launched the Cyclists Alliance at the end of 2017 and it was effectively a union.
