Since 2016, we have been supporting the future of our sport through our Buck Up For Bikes program, which raises money for the benefit of young riders across the U.S. We’ve partnered with the following national-level organizations, all of whom are committed to getting more people on bikes.
BikeFlights.com not only collects and tracks donations, but we also supplement collected contributions and cover the costs of administering and publicizing the program.
Trips for Kids (TFK) is a positive youth development organization that teaches valuable life skills with the bike at the core of our programming. TFK believes that the bike is an ideal learning laboratory that’s approachable for kids of all backgrounds and abilities. They offer hands-on STEM learning, creative problem-solving and teamwork, while nurturing a lifelong connection to healthy movement and the outdoors. Their vast network of chapters throughout North America has introduced more than 230,000 youth aged 8-18 to the valuable life lessons teachable on the bike, with an emphasis on helping those kids most in need of positive adult role models and mentors.
The National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) - NICA develops mountain biking programs for youth and communities across the United States and (as of spring 2021) supports over 23,000 student-athletes in developing strong minds, bodies, character and communities. Experiences had through mountain biking can help youth develop a sense of self worth and teamwork that will impact their lives both on and off the bike. Through its core values of fun, inclusivity, equity, respect and community, NICA envisions a future where every youth is empowered to be part of a thriving and engaged cycling community.
Little Bellas connects girls with the joy of mountain biking. Through programs that facilitate fun, belonging and confidence-building, Little Bellas aims to get more girls on bikes across the country. All girls are welcome, regardless of whether they have never ridden before or have been ripping it up on the two wheels for years. They support girls in overcoming challenges on the trail, building biking skills and being brave on the bike.
The International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) is the worldwide leader in mountain bike advocacy, and the only organization in the U.S. focused entirely on trails and access for mountain bikers in all parts of the country. Since 1988, IMBA has taught and encouraged low-impact riding, grassroots advocacy, sustainable trail design, innovative land management practices and cooperation among trail user groups. IMBA U.S. is a national network of local groups, individual riders and passionate volunteers working together for the benefit of the entire community.
