The CatRock Cycling Academy promotes lifelong healthy habits among NYC youth. Our program is dedicated to providing growth opportunities, and fostering a supportive cycling community through leadership skills, communication and trust. We give youth the option to overcome challenges they didn't know they could.

We offer in school and after school weekend and summer cycling programs. We provide access to biking and gear that helps first-time riders learn to bike and experienced cyclists enhance their skills. The cycling academy provides our students with the opportunity to learn at their own pace and grow with a community of cyclers. Whether you’re just starting out for the first time, or you’ve been a long time cyclist, the Cycling Academy has a seat for you.

Our workshops include bike safety, maintenance, building, riding techniques, and nutrition education. Our youth leaders are program alumni who are passionate about creating a safe and fun environment for all participants. Our students leave the cycling program with technical skills they can apply to their everyday life or the foundation to a new profession.

Thanks to our partnerships with Trek and Keaton's Kids Foundation, we can provide essential equipment such as bikes and helmets, and transformative biking experiences. Cycling Academy students have the opportunity to experience the world around them, build lasting relationships, and connect with nature both within and beyond NYC.
