The Shenandoah Valley Bicycle Coalition has been advocating for bicycles and their positive impact in their communities for over 36 years now. While we were not actually able to hand their Executive Director Kyle Lawrence $500 cash, we thought we'd at least chat on Zoom to celebrate. The SVBC has set a high standard for bringing the community together to not only build and maintain trails, but also for creating a vision for the future. In their own words: "We believe in the power of the bicycle to transform ourselves and our world. We believe that biking should be fun. We believe that change can be playful. Together, we are reclaiming our streets, trails, and public places for current and future generations." Read more about their organization HERE
From the very beginning of our brand, we've always donated back to the trails from every sale. So far, we've given back over $7,000 to trail organizations around the country. It's at the core of our mission and vision for now, and the future of our sport.
As always, we want to encourage you to get involved with your local trails and find ways to give back and positively impact your community. Thanks to everyone that took the time to vote for and share the giveaway and we hope to see you on the trails soon!
