🌟 We’re excited to begin another year with the Youth Advisory Council (YAC), a group of eight youth leaders taking an active leadership role in the Bicycle Coalition Youth Cycling (BCYC) program not just as participants, but as thoughtful partners, decision-makers, and influencers amongst their peers. 🚲 💪

The YAC’s main project for the spring season centers on putting together a Youth Career Day but they've also been learning about mobility advocacy and maybe even starting a band?

You for showed up for Philly youth – and not just with your bikes. Together, we raised $11,500 for the BCYC scholarship fund! But that's not all – our matching donor is going to meet this amount, dollar for dollar – that means $23,000 invested in the next generation of Philly's community leaders and cyclists! 🎓🏙️

Thank you, from all of us at the Bicycle Coalition and the BCYC program! 💙🚲🧡

We're heading back to Sedgley this Sunday for some more spring-into-Fall cleaning. If you are willing and able, please join us 10am - 1 pm to help Habib, our Youth Cycling Manager, organize Sedgley PorterHouse for the BCYC Fall Season and upcoming benefit ride, Roll Wit It. It would involve some light lifting and cleaning up of the space. We'll spin some tunes, eat some snacks and get some things squared away

At its heart, the National Youth Bike Summit reinforced something we at BCYC believe deeply: when youth are given the tools, space, and encouragement to lead, they rise. And they ride.
