Our programs aim to improve individual health, environmental quality, and enhance the livability of our communities by helping individuals gain bicycle knowledge, skills, and confidence.

Bike Camp

In a creative and supportive environment – and with an emphasis on experiential learning – campers ages 6 -15 build confidence, knowledge, and skills. Campers learn how to ride safely, fix their bikes, and travel to fun destinations throughout the city. Learn more about our 2012 Bike Camps here.

Bike Club

Our after-school Bike Clubs provide hands-on, experiential after-school workshops in which 9 to 12 year olds from families with low incomes learn safe riding skills, basic bike maintenance, and the importance of wearing a properly fitted helmet. By working hard and participating throughout the course of the 12-session program, participants earn their own bicycle, lock, and helmet to take home!

Holiday Bike Drive

Every winter, with the support of hundreds of volunteers and donors, we provide 500 children with their first bicycles, new helmets, and basic safety education. It is a huge, community-building event that we work toward all year long and culminates in one amazing day in December.

Bikes for Kids

The Community Cycling Center is once again extending the spirit of the Holiday Bike Drive into the summer with Bikes for Kids! Through our Understanding Barriers to Bicycling Project, we have learned the importance of bringing safe bikes to low-income communities. This June and July, we will be building on last year’s successes. Partnering with New Columbia and Native American Youth & Family Center (NAYA), we will offer 150 lovingly refurbished bicycles, new helmets, and bike safety education lessons to resident children ages 3-8.
