Make A Difference
Bicycles have always been one of the most efficient means of transportation, but now they are also an increasingly important tool to support and promote great causes around the world. Millions of cyclists each year participate in cycling events to help raise awareness and desperately needed funds for charities, advocacy groups and associations. These events support more than cycling related causes, they focus on improving the human condition and the environment in which we live. Individuals are brought together by their passion for cycling and the desire to make a difference.
This is a list of the causes we support and ways that you can help. Donations to these organizations are appreciated, but volunteering and creating awareness are the most effective ways to make a difference.
