About RideClean

The RideClean mission is to promote clean sport, faciliate discussion of this topic and support clean athletes through an organization of solidarity.

RideClean: originally founded to promote clean cycling with the hope of reconnecting the discouraged and disillusioned with the romanticism and pureness of our beautiful sport.

The goal is to rediscover these elements of cycling that we’ve fallen in love with. Partially inspired from the Smashing Pumpkins’ “This Time” off of Machina, specifically the lyric: "with every chemical you trade a piece of your soul", Albert Einstein, and all that cycling has endured in recent years, the concept of RideClean extends beyond cycling. The focus is not about being against something negative, but for something positive; the commitment to oneself to ride and compete with morals and honesty that meets our inborn standards, our self consciousness. With this intact we are at peace and this approach lends itself to fulfilling our potentials from which our ultimate performances can arise, wholesome and clean, vivid and pure, both on and off the bike.

The idea of: RideClean and the rest will follow” has several meanings. With an approach to cycling and life that is RideClean your life can align in areas outside of cycling (the rest will follow). When you RideClean and allow your body to compete at its potential, your competition will trail (the rest will follow). And maybe most importantly, by setting the example of RideClean, your peers and spectators will do as you do (the rest will follow).

If you’ve found this website and read this far then we say: “Welcome to the RideClean family!" Because we are all in it together to contribute in our own ways and as Albert Einstein said: "Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving." To extrapolate this further, to keep your balance in life, one must RideClean.
