About This Cause
SYYCLISTA Cycling Club aims to develop competitive Filipino talents in road cycling, right here in our own backyard of Calgary. The group started as friendly get together rides during covid time and everyone realized the physical and mental health benefits, along with the development of community spirit this sport provides. The Club officially registered with the Alberta Bicycle Association on April 2023 to allow our riders to compete in local city and provincial races. The name ‘SYYCLISTA’ is a brainchild of our Founder and current President – Rene Galme, which came about while thinking of a good way to identify a Filipino cyclist from Calgary. ‘Siklista’, the Filipino term for a cyclist, and ‘YYC’ for Calgary, when combined, can be a good answer when asking someone on a road bike in the city: “SYYCLISTA ka ba?” (Are you a SYYCLISTA?).
