In February 2009, David Lappartient was elected for a four-year term as president.
The Union Vélocipédique Française (UVF) was the predecessor of the FFC.
It was founded on 6 February 1881 in Paris at the Café Le Marengo by delegates of ten cycling clubs, who on the same day decided to create a national championship race of 10 km.
The first president was Parisian Paul Devilliers, and from the start the UVF admitted professional riders.
