Teens Biking To Destinations
What is Teens Biking To Destinations?
One of the BEST WAYS to get into biking and become a bike owner!
We partner with Schools and School programs to bring bikes, rider know how, basic maintenance and fun to interested students. Folks who join TBTD assemble their own bike, learn how to maintain it and ride with confidence. They are the owner of a new bike, helmet, light and lock when we are done!
TBTD generally meets outside the school day. Each program looks different; some meet weekly others are week long immersive programs.
The goal is to get bikes into the lives of students, especially those who might not envision themselves as riders.
Open to students in 6th - 12th grade. Host schools choose the grade levels for participation.
Students can only join the program once ..... but they can ride for a lifetime!
What parents and students have to say.......
"We just went to the coast for the weekend and Argus was out biking solo every morning. Although he refused to ride on the beach as to keep his “sweetie” in pristine shape. It’s been so wonderful to watch his new love of biking."
"The building experience was not super easy for my kid who lacks fine motor skills and is hard pressed to slow down long enough to build. The amazing tale here is that he stuck it out and has this AMAZING thing that he loves as a result. That’s a major lesson."

"It gave him confidence and made him more connected to his bike. It helped him feel more responsible for its care and confident that he could either fix issues himself or always pop by the recyclery for help"
“I love my new bike! It’s big and bouncy and it fits me. Getting to build it was cool.”
