The Bahati Foundation is a non-profit organization that inspires and empowers underprivileged, inner-city youth to rise above their circumstances.

We bring opportunity to kids through the sport of cycling.

This past week in Atlanta, GA, the Bahati Foundation x Metro Cycling Club (MACC) brought the spirit of the One Love Century to GrantVille Elementary School!

We hosted a bike clinic for the students, creating a fun and meaningful opportunity to introduce the next generation to cycling, bike safety, healthy living, and the power of community. 🚴🏾‍♀️🚴🏾‍♂️

The smiles, energy, and excitement from the students reminded us why we ride — to inspire, connect, and create opportunities that reach far beyond the bike.

A special thank you to GrantVille Elementary School, the students, teachers, volunteers, and everyone who helped make this day possible. 🙏🏾

🚴🏾 Motion Equals Healthy NYC 🚴🏾‍♀️

What a great day in Harlem!

We had lots of fun riding, learning, and building community. Kids learned bike safety skills, gained confidence on two wheels, and many had the opportunity to improve their riding skills alongside amazing mentors and volunteers.

A huge thank you to our partners, families, and everyone who came out to support the next generation of riders.

It’s always a good time in Harlem, and we’re proud to continue creating opportunities through movement, mentorship, and cycling.

Who’s ready to ride into the long weekend?! 🙌🏾

This Saturday is extra special, we’re wrapping up our B-Smart Cycling Club season at Jefferson Leadership Academy in Long Beach, and we’re doing it in style. Our youth riders are hitting the streets for a 10-mile group ride to the lighthouse and back.

These young athletes have put in the work all season and this is their moment to shine. Thank you to our community of supporters, our staff, leadership academy and the youth for showing yup consistently.
