The Spring City Cycling Club (SCCC) was founded in 1892! https://www.springcity.org/

There’s even a women’s division called the Rocket City Cycle Belles (RCCB). https://www.facebook.com/groups/RocketCityCycleBelles/

In 2008, citizen advocates convince the newly elected mayor Battle to form the Bicycle Advisory and Safety Committee (BASC) https://www.facebook.com/groups/1366468327053612

Another newer 501(c)3 in town in the Huntsville Urban Bike Share (HUBS) Coop is dedicated to getting bikes out of storage and into the community. They advocate for transportation options that allow all people of all ages and abilities to have and exercise the freedom of mobility and advocate for safe infrastructure for pedestrians, bicycles, and all types of vehicles.
