“We partner with HopeCycle because they bring the love of cycling to kids who otherwise might not have the opportunity to enjoy something that we all love to
Inside HopeCycle an overwhelming number of bicycles are refurbished for children and adults. The organization provides a skills development program, paid-to-work programs, Joy of Biking classes for students and other children and Africa Outreach.
