GCC Jersey - Order Now!

The store is open for the 30th Anniversary printing of the classic Gainesville Cycling Club jersey. Access the order page from the Members Area. Thanks to our sponsors, jersey and jacket prices are reduced by $25.

We're looking for up to five more sponsors, whose contribution lowers the cost of the jersey to our members. If there is still an opening, we can accept sponsors up until October 31, but it helps our planning (a lot!) if we have you on board much sooner. Sponsorships cost $500. Contact Roger Pierce for more information.

Sponsors provide a logo, which is printed on the pocket of the jerseys and jackets. We guarantee that it will appear on at least 100 garments during this cycle (2026-2027). Jersey sponsors are also recognized on the main page of our website and on the Members Area News page.

Many thanks to our returning sponsors Charles Schwab & Co, Fine, Farkash & Parlapiano, and Ryan Saylor, BHHS Florida Realty.

Strong Towns Gainesville Big Meeting

by Kyrylo Sokolov

Hello, dear bike enthusiast.

You have probably ridden on Gainesville streets once or twice, right? They suck, don't they? Do you want to do something about it? Then join us at Strong Towns Gainesville Local Conversation meeting on Sunday, October 19th 11am at Plaza of the Americas. We meet weekly, but on that day we are planning to have especially many people, people just like you who want their city to become more livable. The topics discussed will not be limited to bikeability: housing, street safety, walkability, involvement with local government, etc. You can check out Strong Towns YouTube channel for more info: https://www.youtube.com/@strongtowns
