History

The club was founded on November 6, 1923, by a group of friends with the purpose of encouraging the practise of cycling in the city of Junín. Its first president was Salvador Campo, and the club rented a land to the charity Hospital of the city, to make a circuit there. Once the circuit was finished, the first racing was held on November 11, 1923.

In 1925 the colors green, red, and white were adopted as club's official colors, remaining to date.

Basketball began to be practised at the club at the end of the 1920s. In 1929 Ciclista won its first title, defeating team "Los Indios" by 12-11. In 1931 Ciclista inaugurated its basketball arena, erected on Aristóbulo del Valle street. By those years the Municipality of Junín temporarily gave the club a land in order to build a new cycling circuit there, which was finished and opened on December 6, 1931. In 1942 Ciclista acquired the land where its basketball court had been built years before, which was considered a great achievement for the club and its members.

The basketball squad won two other titles, in 1952 and 1954, defeating San Martín and Los Indios respectively. One year later the club inaugurated a new basketball stadium.
