"Bike to School" Program Study
We know “CYCLE Kids” are healthier and happier kids, and we’ll prove it! We’re setting out to explore the cognitive and emotional benefits of our curriculum with a new partner. Thanks to a private family foundation grant, CYCLE Kids and research team RTSG Neuroscience Consultants will collaborate in a real-world study to learn about the effects of increased physical activity on kids’ mood, cognition, behavior, and physical health.

CYCLE Kids Programs in Georgia and Texas
2012 was a year of unprecedented growth for CYCLE Kids! We’re proud to acknowledge our program has travelled to Georgia and Texas, and, in early 2013, we’ll be operating a new East Boston school. We’re especially thrilled to note that these expansions were made possible by the extraordinary personal efforts of our supporters, proving that passionate people can create meaningful change.

Third Annual Gala!
On October 18th, CYCLE Kids hosted our Third Annual – and best ever! – Gala at the Harvard Faculty Club in Cambridge. Once again our community of advocates, bike-lovers, and friends gathered to celebrate the CYCLE Kids mission, raise funds, and share stories – and we were honored by the awesome show of support! In addition to raising money towards Boston- and Brooklyn-based programs, the 150 attendees generously “built” 15 bikes piecemeal through our virtual bike-build wall!

CYCLE Kids is Headed to the Lone Star State!
We’re thrilled to announce that our dedicated friends and supporters, Peter Staneland and the Corpus Christi Cycling Club, have raised enough funds to bring CYCLE Kids to their home state of Texas. We met Peter in 2010 when he won a spot on our Boston Marathon team. Inspired by the efficacy of the CYCLE Kids program that so mirrored his own values, Peter and the Corpus Christi Cycling Club raised all the funds necessary to bring CYCLE Kids home to Texas. The program begins on August 17th during the London Independent Elementary School’s physical education classes.

Somerville Pilots a Successful Bike Clinic!
In April we hosted our first Bike Clinic, a week-long course that brought together an amazing group of community-minded volunteers, mentors, and students. Each student, working with a professional bike mechanic, repaired several bikes donated by the community -- one of which they kept as their own. The surplus bikes will be sold to raise funds to purchase CYCLE Kids workbooks for the next class of new riders.
