Guest post by BCYC Alum + current Intern, Terrel Bundy.
BCYC is off and rolling into the 2025 Spring Season — and the energy at our practices so far has been incredible. Whether you’re a returning rider, a brand new face, or one of the many folks supporting from behind the scenes — we’re so glad you’re here.
We’re just a couple of weeks in, and already:
- 122 youth riders have participated in at least one practice — out of 132 registered!
- We have a strong team of 18 coaches this season — and 16 of them are returning!
That kind of turnout and consistency speaks volumes. We’re building something real — and people are showing up for it.
A huge shout out to the 16 returning coaches who continue to believe in what we do. Your passion, consistency, and commitment are what make this program thrive. You lead with love, and the kids feel it every time you show up.
To our two new coaches — welcome to the team! We’re excited to have you on board and can’t wait to see the impact you’ll make.
We also want to give a big thank you to our partners at SRAM. In a climate where more and more bike brands are stepping away from supporting grassroots organizations like ours, SRAM continues to lean in.
They’ve not only backed us financially, but have also supported us with workshops and other resources — always looking for new ways to deepen the relationship. Their commitment helps make everything we do possible, and the benefits for our youth are real.
BCYC’s biggest event of the spring, Hustle N Ride, is right around the corner!
On May 10th, experience Hunting Park, “the Jewel of North Philly,” like you’ve never seen it before — car-free! — and support our Bicycle Coalition Youth Cycling (BCYC) athletes while enjoying food, music, exhibition races, bike demos, a community ride, and more. Learn more >>
