WHO WE ARE

OUR MISSION
Ride Krew is a youth organization passionate about inspiring and creating opportunities for riders to learn and participate in the sport of cycling. We offer instructional programs and experiential rides designed to support the development of positive self esteem, build community, and encourage an active lifestyle. We empower riders by teaching life skills through bike skills. Ride Krew emphasizes practicing an active lifestyle, taking responsibility for your own actions and having empathy for others!
We highlight that fun and play is key to long lasting learning. Instructors focus on the importance of etiquette, fair play and leadership while emphasizing the critical role of self-esteem and confidence. We foster a strong sense of community, reinforcing the importance of taking care of ourselves and each other. We celebrate and invite cyclists of all abilities and backgrounds to join us on the trails.
OUR VISION

Pedal
Fun.
Confidence.
Resilience.
We understand the power of cycling’s ability to help build confidence and resilience. Skills we learn on the bike such as problem solving and goal setting translate off the bike and help overall health and well being. Learning new and fun outdoor activities help to develop lifelong healthy habits.

Connect
Peer Based.
Community.
Leadership.
Ride Krew provides a healthy outlet to youth through cycling regardless of their ability. Our cohort style instruction fosters a thriving learning experience and cultivates connection. Our coaches instill responsibility, empathy and safety in a challenging and fun environment.

Explore
Adventure.
Awareness.
Responsibility.
We emphasize the importance of trail advocacy, proper trail stewardship and the importance of being a good custodian of our natural areas. Riders are encouraged to explore natural features while being instilled with appreciation towards open spaces. We believe it is all of our responsibility to help take care of natural resources and the areas we ride.
