There are nine requirements and I will not go into all of them, but the ride part requires two 10 mile rides, two 15 mile rides, two 25 mile rides, and one 50 mile ride. I earned the merit badge back in 1967 and the requirements were nearly the same, the ride part is still the same. I have had 7 boys get the merit badge in the last two years. All of them also earned the swimming merit badge. I am the 11 year old scout leader for our troop and I have encouraged them to work on the cycling merit badge.
