Community Cycling Project

The Tulsa Wheelmen Bicycle club is involved in multiple aspects of cycling.  An example is the Community Cycling Project which is a community outreach project of the Tulsa Wheelmen in partnership with Tulsa Parks.

ROM - TOM

The Tulsa Wheelmen select a Teammate of the Month (TOM) and a Racer of the Month (ROM). We give these awards for March through September.

ROM is based on performance/results in races. TOM is based on contributions to the team in races. TOM rewards those that sacrifice for the team and that might not get the results themselves. Because this is a team sport, good results by one are usually because of the team.
