If you join as a member on the CYCLINGSA site, this process can be done at the same time.
Otherwise you can upgrade to this option at any time. A license card will be issued
and posted to you.

Questions and Answers
Q: Once I have bought a CYCLINGSA Membership through a race like the Cycle Tour, how do
I get a full racing license?
A: In 2012 all riders need to become a Member of CYCLINGSA first. Once you are a member,
you can then get a full racing license on the CYCLINGSA Web Site.
Q: What about Junior licenses?
A: There are no Junior licenses. All riders over the age of 16 require a full racing
license should they wish to compete in Nationals, UCI events or get National Colors.
Youth riders (U16) are only required to become members and will receive all the
benefits of a full racing license.
Q: Do I still need to join a club.
A: Yes, you will need to add your club and affiliate (province) details.
Q: Why are the Cycle Tour and Other Events charging me for a license?
A: It is the responsibility of all race organizers to make sure that all competing
riders are licensed, either as a member of CYCLINGSA or with a day license. CYCLINGSA will accredit
online entry companies to sell membership to riders at the point of entry, so as
to make riders lives easier. The online entry company will then provide this information
to CYCLINGSA, so that you do not get charged again at another race.
Q: What about the old Cyclo Sport License?
A: CYCLINGSA have decided to do away with this license. The process is now very simple.
You join CYCLINGSA as a member. Should you wish to have a full racing license, then you
can upgrade to this option.
Q: Can I get a full racing license without becoming a member.
A : No. However, if you chose to take out your membership on the
CYCLINGSA site, you can upgrade to a full racing license at the same time, merely by ticking
a box.
Q: How do I register my club?
A: The process is fast and simple and CYCLINGSA staff will help you if so needed. You will
be able to load your fees, or portions thereof, and permissions to suit your club
needs. You will also be able to load all club details and benefits.
Q: Who is the service provider and where do I find the system?
A: The system will be on the CYCLINGSA web site (www.cyclingsa.com)
and is owned and administered by CYCLINGSA.
