Lucky to Ride

A Little Bit About Us

Lucky to Ride is dedicated to giving underserved and at-risk youth the opportunity to experience and learn about the natural beauty of Colorado from the seat of a mountain bike.

We are an organization of cyclists, educators, and community leaders who believe we can make an unquestionable difference in the lives of children by opening their minds to new possibilities and arming them with greater self-esteem.

We offer experiential and transformative cycling programs that combine fun, adventure, and physical activity with stem-based programming in a safe, supportive environment.

All our programs serve underserved youth, ages 8-20, in the Denver metro area.

Instructors place an emphasis on teaching valuable life skills along the way.
