Edge Cycling “Where Challenge Meets Choice”
If there’s such a thing as a home team on Friday Nights, look no further than the Edge Cycling lineup. Every single rider on the Edge squad is a resident of Lehigh County. Most began their journey in the introductory programs at the Valley Preferred Cycling Center. After completing the velodrome's youth programs, Edge has provided a platform for these youngsters to develop into National and International contenders. Collectively, the current group of riders you see on a Friday night has won 77 National Championships. Edge riders have held 8 national records and more than 10 track records at Trexlertown.
Named USA Cycling’s Developmental Team of the Year in 2022 and a USAC Center of Excellence for the past three years, Edge provides a comprehensive multi-year “childhood to champion” development platform. The three-tiered program begins at the Foundation Level where young beginning athletes learn the skills, tactics, and technical abilities necessary to advance to the National Development Program. Athletes who meet the highest standards take the step into the International Development Program, where they are prepared to compete in the world’s largest competitions.
Athletes at Edge also participate annually in a leadership training program, where they learn and hone personal behavior skills necessary to perform as athletes and teammates, but also to become leaders and champions at school, work, and in their personal lives.
The 2025 season presents great challenges. While the August National Championships in Colorado is the season’s major event for most riders, the greater focus is on keeping their noses to the grindstone and building powerful engines capable of going toe-to-toe with the best in the world. Edge Cycling invites the local community to come out and watch some of the preparation that goes into building an elite athlete. You can look at the edgecyclingteam.com website to find training times. The riders and coaches would love to meet you and answer your questions.
