Former Riding for Focus Student Discovers Passion for Mountain Biking

Outride’s Riding for Focus (R4F) middle school cycling education program provides a great place for students to learn the basics of bike riding, equipping them with the skills to ride safely and confidently. The program is now in over 350 schools across the USA and Canada, reaching over 50,000 students each year. The majority of students who participate in the program report an increased interest in riding beyond the school day, acting as a great jumping off point for other cycling activities, be it riding for transportation, participating in a local National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) league, sparking interest in bike mechanic programs like Project Bike Tech, and beyond.
