OUR MISSION
Shawnee Trail Cycling Club is a community focused organization dedicated to the sport of cycling for fitness, recreation and bicycles as an alternative, energy efficient, mode of transportation. The genesis of our name, Shawnee Trail, incorporates the rich heritage of Frisco and North Texas as a transportation mecca during the early 1800’s, while incorporating the evolution from horses and wagons, to newer forms of transportation as bicycling.
We support a variety of cycling specialties including road and track racing, commuting and recreational road and mountain biking. Our mission is for each club member to become an ambassador of the sport of cycling and to increase visibility and acceptance of the sport through:
- strict compliance to traffic laws
- education and mentoring of all cyclists to create awareness of “cycling best practices” to ensure the safe enjoyment of the activity
- initiatives to ensure cyclists can safely share the road with motorists
- Participation in, and sponsorship of education activities and events promoting cycling as a viable, “green” transportation alternative.
- Continuous demonstration, through our actions, of all benefits of participation in cycling as an activity, at any level.
The Shawnee Trail Cycling Club has been formed as a Texas Not-For-Profit Corporation pursuant to its Articles of Incorporation dated August 20, 2009 to promote the sport of cycling within the community under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
