What? A vegan cycling team?

Yes, and before you ask, we get our protein from plants. TeamVegan.org is the website for the OrganicAthlete Cycling Team presented by VegNews Magazine. OrganicAthlete is a nonprofit organization that promotes a plant-based, vegan lifestyle through sports.

Here's the Idea

OrganicAthlete's mission is three-fold: information sharing, community building, and inspiring through athletic example. Our elite cycling team integrates all three of these strategies into one program. First, team members will give talks at schools and community groups about health and plant-based nutrition and distribute information about plant-based nutrition, including OrganicAthlete's Guide to Sports Nutrition, at events. Second, the cycling team serves as a rallying point for the entire OrganicAthlete community and promotes our membership organization. Finally, on the inspiration front, what better way to promote a plant-based, vegan lifestyle than an entire team of vegan athletes?

Our Goal

Our goal is not to force veganism upon anyone. Our goal is share information about how our diet and lifestyle affect our health, other beings, and the environment. Our goal is to make people aware that you can be an elite athlete and still be vegan, and, contrary to popular belief, it's not that difficult. Our goal is to inspire people to eat more fresh, organic fruits and vegetables.
