Cycling Merit Badge Requirments
MB Counselor: Mark Clark

During this merit badge, kids will learn basics of bicycle maintenance/safety/laws.  They'll also need to do the following rides (providing a short report of interesting things they saw and their route on these rides):

  1. Two (2) 10 mile rides
  2. Two (2) 15 mile rides
  3. Two (2) 25 mile rides
  4. One (1) 50 mile ride in an 8 hour time frame (route has to be pre-planned in this case)


For one of the 25 mile rides we may attempt to take part in the B&O bicycle tour at the beginning of June.

To give a rough estimate of the amount of time that the rides should or could take:

  • 10 mile ride = we should be able to do these in about 40-50 minutes riding at a good clip
  • 15 mile ride = about 60-75 minutes (again at a good clip)
  • 25 mile ride = I'd allow 2 to 2.5 hours for this, some of the boys may find it useful to take a break half way thru
  • 50 mile ride = I think it would be good to break this down as a 20 mile ride/break/15 mile ride/break/15 mile ride
