The ZSUN Cycling Club is a virtual cycling club. As a member, you’ll receive all the AusCycling benefits you would in a normal cycling club, but because we’re virtual, we’re able to keep our admin fees really low and can pass those savings on to you. Oh, and don’t worry, you don’t have to choose between us and your local club (if one exists); you can be a member of more than one club at a time!

Becoming a member of the ZSUN Cycling Club is really easy but you need to be a member of AusCyling (Australia’s Cycling Body) first.  To join AusCycling, click the button below and purchase a membership that covers your age and cycling activity, then select our club (“ZSUN Cycling Club”) from the drop-down when prompted.  We will be automatically notified when you join.

What Equipment Will You Need?

To ride virtually, you’ll need to download Zwift on your PC or Mac, you can also run Zwift on an iPad, iPhone, Apple TV or Android device.  You’ll also need a bike (road or mountain) and a compatible smart trainer (like a Wahoo Kickr) to provide resistance – remember to check the smart trainer fits your bike before you buy it!  If in doubt, message the supplier.  Zwift offer a 7 day free trial, after which you’ll need a paid subscription.

Once you’ve got the basics above sorted, things like a heart rate monitor (or compatible smart watch) and cadence sensors can be paired with the game (via Bluetooth) to give you even more insight into how you’re progressing.  A fan is really useful as you’ll definitely get hot while cycling and a training mat helps with noise and catches sweat.
