The Red Sea Cyclists Community Club ties together cycling enthusiasts throughout KAUST. We promote all forms of cycling for commuting, health, recreational and competitive purposes. We actively engage with community officials to make KAUST a safer and more attractive environment for cyclists of all ages.
