In 2004, visionary members of the Australian Defence Force approached the ADF Sports Council to make cycling a Defence recognised sport.

A club was then established in 2004 to promote cycling within Defence.

This club  has had a few name changes over the years to reflect the state of affairs within the Defence environment, and is now known as ADF Cycling.

ADF Cycling is affiliated with Cycling Australia, Mountain Bike Australia and BMX Australia.

It currently has around 700 members, and competes in most of Australia's biggest bike races in all disciplines.
