Formed in 1968, the Stark County Bicycle Club (the “SCBC”) is a not-for-profit, fraternal organization located in Canton, Ohio. The SCBC is primarily an on-road cycling Club, however, trail/towpath rides are offered as well. Not only does the SCBC boast the finest ride schedule in all of Ohio, but the Club takes its community involvement seriously, offering safety classes for youngsters and volunteering at various community events such as the Canalway Bicycle Poker Run benefiting the Massillon Area Greenways, Inc. (MAGI) and the annual North Canton Kid’s Triathlon. Proudly, in 1993, the SCBC became the first organization in the State of Ohio to “adopt” a highway under the State’s Adopt-A-Highway program.

Our mission is to create a nationwide network of trails from former rail lines, connecting corridors to build healthier places for healthier people.
