"The Cyclists' Alliance, the independent voice and support for women's cycling, is facing a funding crisis. TCA is working hard to secure longer term partners, but that takes time. Without immediate financial support, The Cyclists' Alliance will be forced to cease operations."
"Since 2017 The Cyclists' Alliance has campaigned for key rights in the women's peloton from minimum salaries to maternity leave, mentored nearly 100 young riders and supported those in the peloton with services that include free legal advice on contracts and working rights."
"The WorldTour level is growing and thriving but the Continental level, where riders learn and develop, is still fragile. If it reaches 35,000 that will cover the cost of running its mentor programme until the end of 2026."
The Cyclists' Alliance, founded by professional riders in 2017, has championed women's cycling rights including minimum salaries and maternity leave while mentoring nearly 100 young riders and providing free legal advice. The organization now faces a critical funding crisis that threatens its operations. Through a GoFundMe campaign, the group seeks €35,000 to maintain mentoring until end of 2026, €65,000 to include legal support, and €100,000 for full operations. Previous sponsors include Strava, BBB, Zwift, Cannondale, Trek, and others. The crisis emerges as women's professional cycling becomes increasingly divided, with WorldTour level growing while Continental level remains fragile.
