USA Cycling Foundation Opens Fifth Annual Online Auction to Fans Worldwide
The USA Cycling Foundation today announced that the 2026 Online Auction opens to the public Wednesday, Nov. 4, at 6 a.m. PT, and closes Monday, Nov. 9, at 6 p.m. PT. Supporters can bid on a range of items and experiences, from a Colnago V5Rs bicycle that was ridden to victory by Tadej Pogačar's in the 2025 Liège–Bastogne–Liège to luxury stays and unique experiences, signed jerseys from Kate Courtney, Brandon McNulty, and more at https://cbo.io/app/public/bidapp/usacf/auction.
The auction is one of the Foundation's largest annual sources of support for U.S. Olympic and Paralympic cyclists. It runs alongside the Bicycles & Bluegrass Benefit, held Nov. 7-8 at the Rosewood Sand Hill in Menlo Park, Calif.
The United States is one of the only major industrialized countries that does not provide government funding for its Olympic and Paralympic athletes. That makes private support essential. Proceeds from the auction go directly to the programs that identify, develop and prepare America's elite cyclists, with the Los Angeles 2028 Games less than two years away.
“Our athletes are proof of what private support can do,” said Molly Pickall, Executive Director of the USA Cycling Foundation. “In Paris, American women won every one of Team USA's Olympic cycling medals. LA28 is the first Summer Games on home soil since 1996, and we want to arrive with the strongest team we've ever fielded. This auction gives every fan, anywhere in the country, a way to be part of the Foundation that supports USA Cycling.”
