Help Lucky to Ride continue to empower historically underserved youth, using bicycles to foster economic and social mobility, develop social and emotional wellbeing, and encourage a sense of fun and adventure.
LTR offers several programs including the following:
- The Rides Program which gets youth out on mountain biking day trips close to the Denver metro-area.
- The Learn-to-Earn Program and Bicycle Maintenance Class - STEM-based bicycle-focused mechanics course.
- The Youth@Work Program - This is a year-long paid internship program at Lucky Bikes that teaches kids foundational skills, increasing their social capital, helps develop leadership skills, and addresses their mental health and wellness.
- High School Mountain Bike Team - This team gets historically disadvantaged youth out riding mountain bikes, camping and exploring the outdoors while offering them a chance to compete with other high school aged youth on an even playing field.
