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.
