Who We Are
The Cycle Effect is a nonprofit organization that uses the bike as a catalyst to mentor riders and foster belonging, physical wellbeing, mental health, community engagement, leadership skills and fun outside. With youth and adult programs in Eagle, Summit, Mesa and Routt counties of Colorado, The Cycle Effect provides bikes, gear, transportation, bilingual coaching and low-cost programming to eliminate barriers to entry for an otherwise exclusive sport.
As a champion of equity, The Cycle Effect serves female-identifying and non-binary participants, and reserves resources for those who identify as Latina, BIPOC and low-income. The organization also prioritizes riders who face obstacles like bullying and social or emotional challenges.
Our Values
Our values center around equity, compassion, belonging, thriving, courage and fun.
The Cycle Effect empowers young women through mountain biking to create brighter futures and build stronger communities.
The Cycle Effect’s journey began in Eagle County, Colorado in 2013, where our first team of courageous riders was introduced to the sport of mountain biking. At first, the focus was on simply breaking down barriers to access, like providing transportation, bikes, gear, apparel and coaching for little to no cost.
Since 2013, The Cycle Effect has expanded its Girls Mountain Bike & Mentorship Program, and introduced a bilingual adult program, Mujeres y Pedales, in 2024. What hasn't changed: laying the foundation for confidence-building in a safe, welcoming space through mentorship on mountain bikes.
