On August 15 and 16, 2020, Tyler and Rachel Cohen, a husband and wife team of cyclists based in Vermont, replicated two Colorado endurance cycling events in their backyard to establish a new fund to help elevate young BIPOC individuals in the cycling space. Rachel is the current VTYC Board President.

Donations

When you give to VT Youth Cycling, you can choose to have your dollars put toward our general fund or the BIPOC on Bikes initiative. 

Vermont Youth Cycling (VTYC)’s new BIPOC on Bikes Fund will help usher new riders, coaches and mentors past economic barriers to entry and into the larger cycling community through:

  • Funding for ongoing education, programming, training opportunities, regional competition, mentoring and coaching for the ultimate benefit of BIPOC youth in cycling

  • Financial support for partnering events with organizations that serve young people who self-identify as multicultural

  • Free or reduced registration to VTYC races, events and workshops if financial need is present
