Since People Cycling is a 501(c)7 non-profit social club we need a paid membership. Since we allow anyone to join our club for a lifetime for free, we needed to collect a memberhip fee to be able qualify for the non-profit status. That is why a portion of the ride fees we charge now include a $25 membership fee. Rather than just adding an additional fee, we use a portion of the current ride fee as the membership fee.
So now, whenever you pay a ride fee for the first time in a calendar year, you become a Member Plus. By becoming a Member Plus you also get your ride fees reduced by the same amount of the membership fee for all rides you sign up for in that calendar year. And, you also get to have your say in the club by being able to vote in our board elections.

People Cycling is a recently launched, all volunteer club that offers bicycle rides designed and led by its members. Rides offered will include tours in the United States and overseas. Rides typically include about 20 participants who want to ride 30 to 50 miles a day over a one or two week period. Ride Leaders are given broad discretion on how to lead their rides and we consider them our greatest asset. Rides are operated at cost, plus a nominal fee paid to the club to support modest office operations and provide tools to ride leader to manage their rides
