Higgins will serve as one of two athlete representatives on the United States Cycling Federation (USCF) Board of Trustees. The USCF is an association within USA Cycling; it governs all disciplines of cycling.
"I am looking forward to improving the communication between the athletes and their governing body,” Higgins said. “It is an honor to act as the voice of athletes in the political process."
