Why Bicycles

By starting the conversation about bicycles at an early age, young people can reap the benefits of good health and mental wellness for a lifetime. We believe that access to a community provides the opportunity for peer collaboration, shared interests, and a strong sense of engagement. This is why engaging young people in bicycles is part of the bigger picture for a more collaborative, environmentally sustainable, and connected world.

Luly first joined the Council in 2019 after meeting the members at the Youth Bike summit while giving a presentation with NICA and have been hooked ever since! They are originally from State College Pennsylvania and are a member of the Philadelphia Bike Expo Team. While in high school they volunteered as a coach for Singletrack school for girls, an organization trying to get more middle school girls on bikes as well as working with the local high school to promote bike to school month, they race both varsity xc mountain biking, endurance gravel events and started a Queer affinity group in the state wide NICA league. Bikes have given them a place to push themselves and a way to give back to their community.

What is a Council
member?

Leadership starts with writing and
we write about bicycling

A national leadership and writing program for youth ages 13–24 that develops storytelling, public speaking, and civic engagement skills among student advocates through published works. As an organization we uplift youth voice so it’s important that youth know how to express their opinions and feel heard. Self development comes from reflecting within and that’s done through becoming a council member.

**This initiative creates community for youth, uses education to expand access to leadership opportunities, and encourages healthy habits through bicycling.
