Clipped In for Life believes a lifelong connection to bicycles improves lives and strengthens communities.
We design events that motivate and inspire people who have already integrated bikes into their lives, and we make big impacts in our community by designing youth cycling programs that take place at school, after school, and on break. Kids in our programs build confidence, perseverance, and independence by discovering that riding a bike is a life-long adventure full of excitement, freedom, perspective, purpose, friendships, and belonging.
Clipped In for Life programs challenge mental and physical abilities in a way that is welcoming and encouraging without being overwhelming. Not only do our bicycle races welcome riders and volunteers of all levels and stages of life who seek adventure, achievement and connection, the races help generate funds to sustain our youth programs.
Our vision is to bring cycling from the fringe to the forefront of our culture by designing a clear pathway from learning to ride, to riding for life.
2024 was a pivotal year in the direction and focus of Clipped In for Life. While we continued to build upon our decade of experience putting on high quality events that bring the community together, we refocused our time and energy into our youth programs.
