A total of 265 respondents were selected using the purposive sampling method. The collected data was analysed by SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 18.0 Window programs for statistical analysis. From the statistical analyses, three meaningful results were extracted. First, bicycle club member`s recreation specialization partially had positive or negative effects on organization identification. Second, bicycle club member`s recreation specialization and organization identification partially had positive or negative effects on organizational commitment. Third, organization identification mediated between recreation specialization and organization commitment positively or negatively.
