What We Do

Our Focus

We are committed to improving children's life by providing an all-encompassing experience that includes fun physical activities, essential safety, intellectual stimulation and emotional wellbeing. We teach kids to make responsible choices in early life so they can be mentors when they grow up.

Happiness & Safety

Essential safety education is key to enjoyment of any activity. What better way to understand the importance of safe habits than with bike safety? We envision biking, as a keystone habit that results in better education, valuable mentoring, improved health, connection and happiness. Your donations make it possible for those that could not afford to get a bike to experience the joy of freedom through biking

Health & Wellness

Childhood obesity has become an increasing health concern exasperated by Netflix and video game binging. This disproportionately affects racial minorities and low-income families leading to increased chance of disease, both mentally and physically. What if we could tap in to kids natural love of biking to effect behavior change? We aspire to promote healthier choices in life and an effective path to changing behavior

Community

Community is the family that goes beyond family. We aspire to transform communities and energize children, who in-turn will educate parents to embrace healthy, safe and fun activities. We believe in creating a deep relationship between the community and kids that goes beyond a transaction. Through our outreach programs we connect community leaders with eager junior citizens to teach them skills for a lifetime

Our
Programs

We have three anchor programs that happen every year - Life Zycle, Grey Matters and Zycathon. In addition, the Zycle team organizes and facilitates several seasonal programs like March Madness with community volunteers.

Life Zycle

Our Life Zycle program provides people a great team building opportunity, to build a bike from scratch while having fun. Get your team in to high gear. Be ready with spanners, wrenches and a friendly competitive spirit. Let us help you build and donate a bike. Its time to see the joy when a kid gets his first bike.

Zycathon

Each year the Zycle team and hundreds of volunteers and participants come together for a day of work, friendly competition and play. Bikes come in parts and we rely on our volunteers to assemble and quality check every one of them. The kids bike race follows on a pro race course and are professionally timed. All kids receive participation medals. Post ride celebration includes food and live music.

Grey Matters

Our grey matters program provides free helmets to kids in need and educates kids on helmet safety. We work with local schools, community leaders and law enforcement to set up "Grey Matter" days where we bring bike experts to teach kids on safe biking techniques, bike etiquette and help them understand how a helmet helps.

March Madness

Throughout the year, Zycle takes donations of new bikes from our sponsors and the community. The annual march madness event brings together hundreds of volunteers who donate their time to assemble bikes, preparing them for the distribution. Twice a year, the community comes together to distribute 200+ bikes to low income kids resulting in a whole lot of smiles.

Re-Zycle

Are you always looking for things to fix around the house? Are you good at putting together puzzle pieces? If you answered yes, then we need your help. Every year Zycle collects gently used kids bikes and hosts a fix up session where community volunteers come together to fix and tune up bikes before they are donated.
