Teens who participate on a majority of the rides throughout the season will earn their own mountain bike by completing hands-on lessons in basic bike mechanics and bike safety, which also focus on personal responsibility, achievement and empowerment, through the Earn a Bike Program. The teens also have the ability to return the following year in a Leadership Role as a volunteer.
“Earning his or her own bike gives the teen a sense of pride and ownership, as well as giving them the ability to continue riding on their own.”
