what is The Cycle Effect?

no barriers. big benefits.

We believe in the transformational powers of belonging and self-fulfillment. The Cycle Effect is a Colorado-based nonprofit that mentors through mountain biking. We serve adventurous 10-18 year old girls who may not have the opportunity to participate in the sport. Our flexible curriculum provides participants with bikes, equipment, and a diverse coaching staff for little cost.

why give?

courage. confidence. companionship.

We live in the heart of nature’s playground, yet many kids do not have the means to explore the great outdoors on a bike. The Cycle Effect provides hundreds of local girls with everything they need to climb up and charge down the trail called life, confidently riding alongside other courageous young ladies. The benefits of biking are many, including everything from overcoming challenges to forming healthy habits. As a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization, we rely entirely on the contributions of generous people like you to outfit our tenacious athletes and further their passion for mountain biking. Through cycling, we’ve changed thousands of lives and helped young women realize countless dreams.
