HUB Membership for 2026 is Open
What a year 2025 was. From mastering new skills and shared laughter on the greenways and trails, to those deep moments on the race course, it was a season to remember. But beyond riding, it was the time you spent volunteering at events and giving back that truly defined us. It was our community that made every mile count.
We are thrilled to announce that the HUB Youth Cycling 2026 Membership Portal is officially open!
As we look toward the new season, we are doubling down on the three pillars that define the HUB experience. Joining HUB is about more than just riding bikes; it is about building well-rounded athletes and community members.
The 2026 Hub Youth Cycling registration is open for adults and youth regardless of NICA team, school, or location! A leading attribute for HUB’s success is due to our youth geographical and school diversity – and we would love for you to join us as we grow together in 2026…one ride at a time!
HUB Community
Powered by Our Community HUB isn't just a drop-off program; it is a collective effort fueled by volunteers both on and off the bike.
Our Coaches and Ride Leaders are the engine on the trails, modeling safety and a love for the sport. But our Off-Bike Community Members are just as critical. When we are at events and races, it is the adults managing the "HUB Base Camp" who make the difference - ensuring our youth riders are fueled, organized, and good to go.

Looking Ahead - 2026 and beyond
2025 proved what is possible when access, mentorship, and community come together. As we head into the new year, HUB is ready to create even more opportunities for riders of all abilities to ride with purpose, lead with confidence, and give back.
Building confident riders, strong leaders, and connected communities, one ride at a time.
HUB Youth Cycling exists to create an accessible, year-round youth cycling community in Tennessee. We inspire personal growth, healthy lifestyles, and meaningful engagement through cycling, education, and service.
In 2025, HUB continued to remove barriers and empower youth on and off the bike. Thanks to our members, families, coaches, and volunteers, this was one of our most impactful years yet.
How HUB Makes Cycling Accessible
Financial Support: We provide affordable year-round programming, including structured rides, licensed coaching, and skills clinics. We subsidize entry fees to ensure financial barriers never stop a kid from participating.
Loaner Bikes & Repairs: To remove equipment barriers, we maintain a fleet of loaner bikes for youth who don’t own one. Our volunteer mechanics and partners provide free or low-cost repairs so every rider has safe, reliable equipment.
Race & Ride Support: From mechanics and tents to nutrition and coaching, we deliver on-site support to create safe environments for youth while reducing stress and costs for parents.
