When cyclists race together, they create a 'peloton’ or group that is able to defy headwinds.
Riders travel much faster as a team than alone. At PelotonU, we believe any student with the will and drive to graduate from college can earn a degree, regardless of geography or economics. When we support each other, we not only learn faster but also achieve much more than we ever could by ourselves. Learn more at: pelotonu.org
