Is road racing in the U.S. dying? We break down USA Cycling membership trends, disappearing road races, and the explosion of gravel racing to uncover what’s really happening in American cycling.
In this episode, we look at the decline of traditional road racing and criteriums in the U.S., but the rise of gravel. If you're a recreational cyclist or a longtime racer wondering what’s happening to the sport, this episode is for you.
For years, riders have said:
• Road races are disappearing
• Fields are getting smaller
• The average racer is getting older
But at the same time:
• Gravel events are selling out
• Crit racing is still strong at it's core
• Zwift racing has exploded
• More adults are riding bikes than ever
So is road racing actually dying… or just evolving?
