Who we are

Beyond the Bikes is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting youth mountain bike teams by providing the administrative, financial, and organizational structure they need to thrive.

We believe that when coaches, volunteers, and riders are freed from operational burdens, they can focus on what matters most—skill development, mentorship, confidence building, and fostering a lifelong connection to outdoor recreation.

By handling governance, compliance, fundraising support, and shared resources, Beyond the Bikes strengthens local teams and helps create safe, inclusive, and sustainable programs that empower young riders and build strong cycling communities.
