International cycling organizations

International cycling organizations are governing bodies that oversee competitive cycling worldwide. The primary organization is the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), which sets rules, standards, and regulations for cycling disciplines such as road, track, mountain biking, and BMX. They organize major events like the World Championships and oversee rankings and athlete eligibility. These organizations ensure fair competition, promote the sport’s development, and coordinate with national cycling federations to maintain consistency and quality across all levels of the sport globally.
