National Roads and Cyclists Association

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Roads and Cyclists Association (NRCA) is an Australian bicycle advocacy organisation formed to represent the interests of road-using cyclists. Based in Sydney, the NRCA promotes cycling as a form of road transport, with the aim of lobbying government for a more positive outcome for road-using cyclists.[1]

In May, 2008, the NRCA was at the centre of media debate about cycling on roads, after an incident in which 50 elite and olympic cyclists were injured in a collision with a car in Sydney.[2][3][4]
