CLUB MEMBERSHIP

Membership offers a number of advantages including: 

– Excellent rider insurance through our affiliation with Auscycling (Australia’s peak cycling body). 

– Access to club events including start hill training, club points racing (read: trophies) and our family focused social events. 

– Eligibility to race in regional, State and National level BMX events.

– The new Auscycling Offroad membership covers you for MTB race events as well. No more multiple memberships if you race the big wheels as well 🙂

 Sign up via AusCycling and select Bayside BMX Club as your club of choice.

A 4 week free trial license is available via Auscycling. Family membership is also available, which gives a discount on AusCycling membership fees.
