Each spring, we award new bikes to students who have earned them by exceeding expectations for grades, behavior, attendance, and citizenship. These awarded bikes also come with free maintenance for as long as the student owns the bike. The Program provides an annual grant to the local NICA team, helping defray coaches’ out-of-pocket expenses and encouraging team member volunteering at trail workdays. The Program distributes free bike helmets to kids annually at the Sedona Celebration of Spring.
