Discount at your LBS
 | Cycling typically requires a huge investment to get started requiring a bicycle, bottles, bottle holders, helmet, clips, shoes, and perhaps a kit. As you continue your cycling adventure, adding a computer, new tires, upgrading components to make your rig lighter... it may seem like a money pit. Our local shops want to make cycling an affordable past time for our members and offer discounts on most in-store products. Many of our partners also offer a significant discount off a special item at times throughout the year. By being a member and receiving these discounts, you can easily recoup the small investment of our club dues. |
Group Rides with Dedicated Ride Leaders
 | Our club would not exist if it weren't for our Ride Leaders. Our Ride Leaders are typically the best of the best our club has to offer. They are required to know the route, knowing safe roads for our rides, and knowing what to do in key situations. The PBA provides special training classes certifying our ride leaders so they can provide a fun and safe riding experience while on our group rides. Our training classes prepare our ride leaders for the hazards of the road and what to do in case of emergency. Our Ride Leaders provide a wealth of knowledge, so riding next to the Ride Leader is a great place to be. |
Full Access to PBA Member Website
 | We provide some great information for all to see. However, our members receive access to our Member's Page where they have access to vital information and services, from Ride Maps and Ride Logs to important news and content. We consistently are adding great content to our website. Want to learn how to change a flat or adjust your gears? Want to know how to be a better rider? Our website is growing to meet the needs of our members. Join now and see what you are missing. |
Access to Ride Maps, Ride Logs, and Forum
 | Have you ever wanted to know the safer roads to ride? Have you ever wanted a new route or go on a new adventure? We have plenty of options provided in an app where members can search for routes by distance. Many of our members share details of their rides and save them to our ride logs, that way you always have a record of your rides. Our forum is a key area for our members to find out the status of rides, routes, and events for our membership. We also have a special section only visible to logged in members. |
Eligible for PBA Member-Only Events
 | What is better than getting to ride with your favorite buddy? Of course, it is enjoying an adult beverage during one of our special events. Our Social Director plans monthly Happy Hours so our members can get together and tell stories of their latest ride. We move our events around town so our members have an opportunity to try out new venues. Our Annual Party is epic. Attendees have an opportunity to bid on products and services, and may win a door prize too. All proceeds from our Annual Party go towards our charitable endeavors. |
PBA Club Kits
 | Being one of the largest cycling clubs in the Metroplex, if you are out on the road and pass a group of riders, you will likely see one of our members wearing a PBA jersey. Our members proudly wear our jersey on group rides or just out with some friends. We order from vendors in bulk, and therefore receive discounts on our kits, passing that savings on to our members. Over the years, we have put out some really cool jerseys. Recently, we have changed our designs to make our members more easily seen while on the road. Safety is key, and you will feel much safer in our neon green kit. |
Volunteer Opportunities
 | Giving back to the community is one of the biggest opportunities we look for each year and we do this in a number of ways. Because we are juggling so many balls in the air, we need our members help to successfully meet our yearly objectives. Our members are our best resource and most volunteer opportunities are 1-3 hours per month. We strive to make our street safer for all cyclists by training children and adults on proper riding techniques and through dialog with local municipalities on road hazards or dangerous intersections. We also have a yearly bike build where we purchase and assemble bikes for local children's charities. |
Use of PBA Tent and Trailer at Rallies
 | One of the best things about being a member is the use of the PBA tent and trailer following one of the many rallies in Texas. After riding a 40, 50, or 60+ mile route, nothing beats having a comfortable seat to sit in under a tent with a cold beverage and a bunch of your closest friends. We like to have a presence at local bike rallies and will often sponsor a rest stop along the route. Our trailer may be at a rest stop where we can provide services for our members, or at the finish line where our members can lock up their bikes. We also use the trailer to haul bikes and equipment to some of the prominent regional rallies like Hotter'N Hell Hundred, Collin Classic and Livestrong. |
