Youth Cycling Programs
Norte programs empower riders of all ages and abilities!
Every year over 3,000 children gain confidence, form friendships, and experience the joy of adventures on two wheels along the trails, streets, pathways, and parks in our region.
Equity is a core value of our work. If your rider needs financial support to attend one of our programs, please apply for a scholarship.
