Adventure Cycling free membership offer

I'm a 30+ year member of and volunteer for Adventure Cycling Association, a national non-profit bicycle travel organization, and they have asked me to help spread the word about their mission which is "To inspire and empower people to travel by bicycle."

Adventure Cycling researches and publishes cycling maps (including the TransAmerica Trail, Pacific Coast Route, Route 66, Lewis & Clark, Underground Railroad, Great Divide Mountain Bike Route and more), offers a variety of online bicycle touring resources, publishes a bicycle travel magazine called Adventure Cyclist, and runs guided tours. They also have been central in the development of the US Bicycle Route System.

They have offered free trial memberships for me to disperse. Benefits of membership include a subscription to Adventure Cyclist magazine, member discounts on Adventure Cycling maps, and more. This offer is for first-time members with a US mailing address.

If you are interested in learning more about Adventure Cycling's programs and their mission please visit: www.adventurecycling.org

To take advantage of this offer you can sign-up online at:

Adventure cycling is a fine organization and the maps are terrific.

I recently downloaded the GPS route for the PCH. Figured if would be nice to have preloaded. Also signed for the free membership. Thanks for the tip.

And yet again, what a shame that the Adventure Cycling Association fails to recognise touring cyclists who live outside the United States.

This is a free offer but postage rates outside the US makes it much more expensive to mail the magazine. This is the reason it is restricted to US postal codes.

Since the magazine is also available to members online in pdf, maybe they could offer to foreign members with understanding no hard copy would be mailed? Just an idea. I'm a long time member already.

Yes, a shame. I know people who have been members of ACA who live outside America. Maybe the postage rates should be built into your promotional budget, where this comes from.
