CYCLE THERAPY

Cycling toward better mental health, one pedal at a time.

CYCLE THERAPY RACING

An all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Auburn, Washington

OUR MISSION

To provide support to families that have youth struggling with mental health by introducing cycling and a specific emphasis on BMX racing as a healthy outlet.

OUR VISION

A community where every child has the opportunity to ride, feel supported, and discover what they’re capable of, regardless of financial circumstances or experience.

WHAT WE DO

We bring youth together through cycling camps, learn-to-ride opportunities, beginner BMX programs, community rides, and hands-on bicycle maintenance.

HOW WE HELP

We help remove barriers through access to bicycles, helmets, and supportive mentors - helping more children get riding and stay involved.

VIEW OUR PROGRAMS

Give more kids a chance to ride.

Your gift helps children get outdoors, build confidence, friendships, and a sense of belonging through cycling. It also supports community programs, bicycles and helmets, that help remove financial barriers to participation.

Cycle Therapy Racing is entirely volunteer-run. Your generosity helps us reach more families and keep our wheels turning.

"10 years ago I had a head injury that left me with crippling depression. Getting back on my bike is what got me through the hardest parts of that battle. Cycle Therapy has a mission that could give others that same hope that bikes gave me."

"Cycling has offered tremendous support for not only my mental health since a small child, yet also teach it to my child/adolescent clients to help them ground and discover what wakes up their soul."
