Transforming lives and landscapes through pedal powered empowerment.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we shifted our traditional programming to keep our community healthy during the Covid-19 Pandemic. As of Spring 2022, we are rolling out our in person programming and events again, with the following modifications:

 Earn-A-Bike Program (Online)

  • Our Earn a Bike class is now being offered as an online course. This enables youth to complete the necessary course work to earn their bike, helmet, and lock at a pace that is more conducive to individual learning styles, busy schedules, and transportation logistics . For more information, please email joyt@tripsforkidscharlotte.org !

Earn-a-Bike

Youth complete a course on safety, bicycle operation and hands-on maintenance.  At the end of the program youth take home a bike, lock, set of light, a helmet and the knowledge to ride with confidence.

ride program

This program engages youth with nature and mountain biking.  This program teaches respect, riding as a group and overcoming obstacles by pedaling forward.
