This is notice of proposed new bylaws for the organizational merger between CIBA and BI as has been communicated to all members over the past few months. 

As background, ongoing discussions between CIBA and BI have taken place during 2024, which included consultants representing legal and operational aspects of merging 2 non-profit organizations for the betterment of our bicycling community.

Also, as noted below, communications and input from members have occurred during the fourth quarter of 2024.   These new bylaws were updated to reflect the new organization, and to meet the state of Indiana current regulations and requirements for all non-profit organizations.

CIBA members attending the January 25, 2025, annual meeting at Nine13Sports will vote on these new bylaws, so please plan to attend.  You may review the existing CIBA bylaws updated in 2019, along with the proposed new bylaws for the new bicycling organization representing the merged entities at www.cibaride.org under the CIBA/Bylaws tab.  

Please send any questions/comments to president@cibaride.org
