Why?

Well, there's always academics (we're #1) but you've already heard that enough. If you raced in high school, if you're into cycling, or even if you just want something fast and fun to do in between lectures, Princeton Cycling is right for you.

Princeton Cycling also has a long history of success, from four straight team national championships (1963-1966) to three individual national championships in 2001. Along the way we've picked up hundreds of wins and a dozen Ivy League championships.

Racing in Massachusetts, 2001

Team on campus, 1990

The towns surrounding campus are suburban and rural, affording hundreds of miles of quiet, beautiful rides. Ride along the historic Delaware past Washington's Christmas 1776 crossing, or wind through backcountry roads and ridges in the rural Sourland Mountains to the north. Why suffer through urban traffic when you can have so much good cycling right outside the gates of campus? Check out our Rides section, or join us on campus and see for yourself.

We have a large but friendly team, and a brand new bike room with storage space, lockers, repair tools, rollers, and wind trainers. Moreover, the generous support of our sponsors provides us with one of the largest collegiate cycling budgets in the nation. We provide lightweight Fuji racing frames and offer component groups at a healthy discount, as well as covering hotel, van rental, and entry fee expenses during the racing season. Very few collegiate programs can provide these benefits.

Good luck with admissions, and we hope to see you soon!
