As we wrap up our ninth year of getting #morekidsonbikes across the country, I want to sincerely wish everyone a wonderful holiday season! This is also a time of year for reflection, on what we’ve accomplished, the lives we have impacted and looking forward to what we will accomplish in the new year.

2018 was our biggest year ever, with over 18,500 student-athletes participating in 22 leagues, and we announced the addition of three new leagues in Florida, Montana and Indiana, thus bringing NICA programming to 24 states by the spring of 2020. If you haven't been to a NICA race weekend, check out this short VIDEO for a preview of what you can expect! We are truly in an exciting and unprecedented time for youth cycling!

Looking toward the future, we need your help to ensure that every youth is empowered to be part of a thriving and engaged cycling community. When you commit to supporting NICA, you enable us to continue our mission of building strong minds, bodies, character, and communities through cycling. Your support of NICA also has allowed us to develop new NICA programs such as GRiT (Girls Riding Together) and Teen Trail Corps. We are looking forward to creating new and innovative programs like NICA Adventure and Pathways to help expand participation in communities that have not historically embraced cycling.

This holiday season, consider making a tax-deductible gift to NICA’s Share the Ride Campaign HERE. Every contribution makes a difference, and every contribution will help us continue to change lives through cycling.

Together, we can continue to make amazing things happen for youth and communities across the country through cycling! Thank you for your continued support, and we wish you fun and adventurous riding in 2019!

With gratitude,
Austin
