Sister Clubs
Team Africa Rising Rwanda
Team Rwanda Cycling began in 2007 and exponentially grew the sport of cycling in Rwanda, a country torn apart in genocide in 1994. Through the work of Team Rwanda Cycling, we assembled a team of professional cyclists who now race competitively on the international stage and in so doing, are exceptional ambassadors for Rwanda. They give others, both nations and people in conflict, hope.

Kenyan Riders
The sport of cycling remains the least diverse of all global sports, and it needs more brothers in it. Kenyan Riders-are here to add colour to the world of cycling!
Kenyans are the best endurance athletes in the world. The tribes that produce all that talent make up something like 0.03% of the world's population but account for 60% of running marathon winners.
It so happens that cycling is an endurance sport. So the idea is to find endurance talent, give them bikes, and get them training!
