Ghisallo Cycling Initiative
One of our riders learning how to bike at Turner Roberts Recreation Center. Way to go! With the support of volunteers, we are cultivating life long cyclist who integrate riding into their daily lives.

We partner with various local organizations who put on community events. At these events our involvement ranges from simple table and tent to a full on Bicycle Adventure Course for all to test their bike riding skills. Help us manage our table, distribute public information flyers, fit participants with helmets or make sure our adventurous bike riders navigate the course safely.

Whichever way you choose to help, you will be sure to have fun and know you are helping our community be safer riders.

Check out our website and all the other great ways you can help.

Mission Statement

Our primary mission is to develop youth who safely and expertly integrate bicycling into their daily lives, to teach participants self-sufficient cycling skills, and to facilitate the experience needed for youth cyclists to be peer leaders.

Description

Ghisallo Cycling Initiative is a local nonprofit that focuses on working with at risk youth to train and empower them as cyclist in their neighborhood. Here's a little bit about each of our programs:

  • Bike Clubs: After school program where we provide bikes and ride with students to area destinations such as parks and rec centers, teaching and encouraging safe riding along the way
  • Earn-a-Bike Program/ Bike Shop: Bike shop housed in the Boys & Girls Club where youth can earn a bike for working in the shop
  • Community Bike Hubs: Shipping Containers that are outfitted to serve as a bike shop & bike storage space so that groups may check out bikes
  • Bike Rodeos: Bike safety Clinics during PE time at area schools
  • Golden Rollers : Provides an opportunity for adults aged 50 and older to engage in low-impact, tricycle-based recreation, exploration, and transportation
