Welcome to Trips for Kids Denver/Boulder
Trips for Kids Denver/Boulder is an organization of cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts who think it’s important to give underserved, urban youth an opportunity to experience adventures and learn about Colorado’s natural environment from the seat of a mountain bike.
We’ve discovered that too many children grow up in the Denver and the Boulder area without having the opportunity to explore the fantastic Colorado Rocky Mountains. We’ve also found that most kids love to ride bikes around in the city, but they rarely get the chance to challenge themselves on mountainous single track. Trips for Kids Denver and Boulder works with a variety of local youth agencies that work with underserved youth to provide daylong mountain bike adventures for their kids. Our Ride Program provides bikes, helmets and a team of experienced mountain bikers to give groups of up to ten children a real mountain biking experience.
While our core Ride program gives urban youth a break from the stress and cement of the city, our after school "Bike Club" was built to inspire and equip young people to safely ride bikes on a regular basis in their own urban neighborhoods. By attending our weekly bike maintenance sessions, students learn the practical skills to keep a bicycle in safe, working order and the opportunity to earn a bike of their own. Donated bikes, the wounded, unloved, and ignored variety liberated from garages, basements, and backyards, are repaired and put under the care of Club graduates.
