Youth engagement, delivered on a bike.
From a weekly after-school ride to a two-week tour across the country, every program teaches bike skills alongside leadership, history, and self-reliance.
Flagship program
Spoke’n Revolutions Youth Cycling
A two-week summer bike-touring program that takes high-school-age riders on historical and cultural journeys of 700 miles or more. Riders learn history, geography, leadership, and teamwork. Free to every participant; we supply the bike, the gear, and the transportation.
Year-round
