"OFF THE COUCH, ON THE BIKE!"

by Los Angeles Bicycle Academy

The bicycle is a powerful tool that can and will continue to change the lives and well being of people all over the world. With your support, the Los Angeles Bicycle Academy project can continue to be a part of this powerful transformation. In the midst of uncertainty and public health and economic challenges, we believe cycling offers hope.
 
Los Angeles Bicycle Academy (LABA) is a youth education program, a community bike shop, and a youth cycling team all in one. Its mission is to empower, educate and develop entrepreneurial and leadership skills in boys and girls between the ages of 8-18. Within the context of a full service bike shop, we employ a comprehensive hands-on curriculum of bicycle mechanics, sales, and service, including an ‘earn-a-bike’ program. All this provides youth with career opportunities and future economic security in the bicycle industry. 
 
LABA’s cycling team seeks to expand the capabilities and health of youth from communities where exposure and access to the sport and lifestyle of cycling are limited. LABA will support 9 youth cyclists on its roster for the 2020 season. The bicycle is a tool for liberation and freedom. It is positive for both mental and physical health. Through the ownership of a bicycle possibilities are expanded, travel becomes easier, new places are discovered.
