Better Biking, Stronger Communities
James,

For more than 50 years, the League has been fostering bike education in communities like yours through our League Cycling Instructor program, now totaling more than 7,500 educators throughout the country. 

In many ways, LCIs are the backbone of local bike advocacy, empowering adults and kids with the skills and confidence necessary to make cycling part of their everyday lives. Through bike handling maneuvers, lane positioning tips and real-world experience, LCIs are truly saving lives and empowering a lifestyle of active mobility for tens of thousands of people each year.

Do you believe in the power of bike education? Please consider a gift to the League before the end of the year. Your contribution helps us teach and license more LCIs, transforming communities one student at a time.
"…The reward is all the smiles from people who are learning to ride for the first time. Most older folks have never experienced a bicycle safety class, and they’re excited to learn something they’ve never known. When we bring bikes to schools, a lot of kids have never ridden until we teach them through Learn To Ride programs. From toddlers to people in their nineties, it’s all about making people smile with bike joy."  Fernando Martinez, League Cycling Instructor
Let's Transform Lives through Bike Education. Give Today!
Bicycles changed Fernando Martinez’s life. Now, as a League Cycling Instructor and Bicycle Program Director in Harris County, Texas, he’s using that power to change countless others.

From growing up car-free in Mexico City to leading major cycling programs in Texas, Fernando shows what happens when people are trained, supported, and empowered to teach safe, confident riding. His trailblazing work, especially with Spanish-speaking communities and older adults, proves that LCIs are often the first bridge to opportunity, health, and “bike joy.”

Together, let’s build local bike advocacy from the ground-up. Your gift to the League by December 31st helps us get more people riding in communities across the country. Give today and enter to win a new C-Line folding bike, courtesy of Brompton!
