United Bicycle Racers Association
- United Bicycle Racers Association
The United Bicycle Racers (UBR) (initially and briefly known as World Bike Riders (WBR) ["Bicycle Motocross News" June 1977 Vol.3 No.6 pg.4] ) was a short-lived Bicycle Motocross (BMX) racing sanctioning body based in Modesto, California which was started by John Valdez, a bike shop owner, on his 18th birthday that lasted from 1977-1983. At its peak it had 34 tracks in California and Nevada.["BMX Plus!" February 1982 Vol.5 No.2 pg.81] His philosophy was to cater to the local racer and deemphasized the focus on National events. Still, because of its California base, it did attract many of the national caliber pro racers who normally do not attend the events of small sanctioning bodies.]The UBR went out of business due to bankruptcy ["BMX Action" November 1988 Vol.13 No.11 pg.34] and ceased operations early in 1983.
