Just Riding Around  ​

 

Just Riding Around (JRA) is in collaboration with Cascade Bicycle Club and WSDOT. Through the lens of active transportation students learn the basics of urban riding, gaining confidence and experience riding and learning how to integrate with bicycle infrastructure. From there, we take them on rides around the city, showing them the different communities across the city and learning how to navigate it safely. At the end of the program, students get to take the bicycles home along with other equipment to ensure their success beyond this program allowing them to become advocates and leaders in their communities. Just riding Around is supported with funding from Washington’s Climate Commitment Act. The CCA supports Washington’s climate action efforts by putting cap-andinvest dollars to work reducing climate pollution, creating jobs, and improving public health. Information about the CCA is available at www.climate.wa.gov

Our bike gifting program, "Pedals For the People," gave away functioning bicycles to individuals who rely on cycling for essential transportation. We are proud of our work to distribute bikes to community members who rely on them for essential transportation but cannot afford one.

Spring and Summer Urban Riding Camps

​

Our bike camps are for those who are still learning the fundamental skills of riding or for experienced riders. Depending on the grade level we offer a wide variety of activities from learning to ride, riding drills and of course riding your bike and exploring Tacoma.  Each day is a unique journey, offering new sights, sounds, and stories.

Earn A Bike 

 

Our cornerstone program, "Earn-A-Bike," isn't just about teaching kids to ride; it's about giving them the skills to build and maintain their own bicycles. Youth participants learn the ins and outs of bike mechanics , gaining confidence take charge of their transportation and explore their city from a different perspective.

Each day, students will dive into a different part of the bicycle, learning key repair and maintenance skills. By the end of the program, they'll take home the bike they’ve chosen and fully repaired themselves.

Youth Court Diversion Program

 

We understand the importance of offering alternatives to at-risk youth. Through our juvenile court diversion programming, we provide a path to rehabilitation and personal growth, diverting young people from the juvenile system and towards a brighter future.
