A Airães a Pedalar Associação constituiu-se, formalmente, no passado dia 20 de Abril e tem como fim promover o desenvolvimento desportivo, o lazer activo, a participação e cidadania, sendo que, neste momento, a sua principal actividade é a promoção do cicloturismo.
A sua fundação surgiu ao fim de quatro anos de actividade regular do grupo que se auto denominava “Airães … a Pedalar!”.
No período compreendido entre 2006 e 2009 realizou inúmeros passeios cicloturistas, com destaque para três peregrinações ao Santuário de N.ª Senhora de Fátima, uma peregrinação a Santiago de Compostela em Espanha e ainda outros passeios de relevo como é o caso do Santuário da N.ª Senhora dos Remédios em Lamego, ao S. Bento da Porta Aberta no Gerês e à Senhora da Graça em Mondim de Basto, entre outros. Nos dias 11 e 12 de Setembro de 2010 efectuou um cicloturismo à Serra da Estrela, o ponto mais alto de Portugal Continental (altimetria 2000 m), em 2012 repetiu o passeio a Santiago de Compostela Espanha, sendo que esse ano desportivo fica também marcado pela participação da nossa jovem Associação no 1º Skyroad Aldeias do Xisto, que se realizou na zona centro de Portugal mais propriamente na serra da Lousã.
Dada a grande adesão de elementos interessados em praticar a modalidade, foi-se criando a necessidade de adquirirem equipamentos próprios nos quais ostentam patrocínios de inúmeras empresas e comércios dos concelhos de Felgueiras, Amarante e Lousada. São exemplo desses equipamentos a viatura que já possuem e que dá apoio às suas actividades bem como os equipamentos desportivos, compostos por calção e camisola, com as cores adoptadas pela associação (branco/azul bebé/laranja).
Actualmente conta já com mais de duas dezenas de elementos inscritos na ACN - Associação de Cicloturismo do Norte.
Em reunião efectuada no dia 1 de Abril de 2010 decidiu-se proceder à sua criação formal, processo que decorreu de forma normal e célere, tendo culminado com a escritura de fundação, no dia 20 de Abril do mesmo ano.
