#BeTheWhy #MoreKidsOnBikes #NICA #MoreGirlsOnBikes
Not every child finds lifelong fulfillment in conventional school sports. We aim to change a kid’s life for the better, one bike at a time. More than 25,000 student-athletes, 13,000 coaches, and countless volunteers across America help create safe spaces for youth to participate, have fun and build a community around cycling. This year, you can be the reason why a child makes the pursuit to experience the same fun, inclusion, equity, respect, and community that you may at every NICA race, practice or event.
Consider giving today to ‘Be The Why.’
