The Kissena Cycling Club
Kissena is the premier cycling club in New York City, founded in 1963. We are dedicated to supporting bicycling and cyclists of all levels with a special interest in developing new (young and old) racers.
We also promote a large number of races in Prospect Park, Floyd Bennet Field and the Kissena Velodrome.

Profile: A complete club, members run from Category V to Category I, racing somewhere between once a year and 60 times a year. We coach and mentor our own. We have developed city, state, national, and international champions (heard of George Hincapie? he's just one of many). We promote races on the road, track, and rollers . We manage racing programs at the Kissena Velodrome. Our racers have made their presence felt up and down the East Coast, getting in the mix everywhere from local training races to pro/ams on the road, track, and dirt.
