RCC TERMS AND CONDITIONS
About membership
The Rapha Cycling Club is a global community of passionate, active cyclists with exclusive access to our most sought after products, experiences and offers. Members of the RCC sit at the heart of Rapha; the first to hear about all of our most anticipated product releases, sole access to a range of exclusive products designed specifically for them, and priority access to our seasonal sales. Every year, our teams work to create new collaborations, events and special offers available only to members of the RCC.
As well as riding together, creating memories and forging friendships around the world, members share a love of cycling and Rapha’s mission to help make it the most popular sport in the world. They are connected by our members-only app, allowing each local community to plan rides, meet each other and share the best of each location.

Riding with the Rapha Cycling Club
The Rapha Cycling Club exists to connect cyclists wherever they are, and empower them to ride together to create friendships and memories.
Members must familiarise themselves with the Rapha Rules of the Road to maintain safe and consistent riding etiquette, best practices and camaraderie.
While riding with Rapha, the Rapha Cycling Club or externally but in club kit, members are representing the club and will extend their respect and courtesy to other riders, road users and the public.
The wearing of helmets is mandatory for all club rides be it hosted by Rapha or by other members, this extends to any ride where club kit is worn.
The official Rapha Cycling Club kit is exclusive to members, and is eligible to be registered by your local community leader with a number of cycling bodies worldwide (E.G. British Cycling).
The Rapha Cycling Club is owned and run by Rapha. Rides are organised and led by Rapha staff, a network of ride leaders and members.
For safety, members are asked to keep their bike in good working order and for most rides, to use a road bike with drop bars and use clip-in pedals and shoes. Please check with the ride organiser what bike is appropriate before the ride.
