Mission

Our mission is to build more racial equity and gender diversity in cycling by providing free and low-cost outdoor programming in the Northwest Arkansas corridor. We invite folks from a variety of backgrounds to participate in our programs from the “never touched a mountain bike” to the advanced rider. Our goal is to create and support an emerging base of beginner mountain bikers and outdoor enthusiasts by providing opportunities to learn and grow in a fun, supportive, and low-stakes environment. 

Purpose

  1. Provide FREE and low-cost outdoor & cycling programming for the Northwest Arkansas community.
  2. Address intersectionality by providing programming that centers marginalized folks in the cycling community. 
  3. Address inclusivity by providing opportunities for marginalized folks to learn and grow on and off the bike.

What makes us different?

We address intersectionality by focusing on race, gender, and class at all levels of our organization from leadership to ridership.
