All our programs serve at-risk and underserved youth, ages 8-20, in the Denver metro area.
what we do
Lucky to Ride is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to giving underserved and at-risk youth the opportunity to experience and learn about the natural beauty of Colorado from the seat of a mountain bike.
We are an organization of cyclists, educators, and community leaders who believe we can make an unquestionable difference in the lives of children by opening their minds to new possibilities & arming them with greater self-esteem.
“The best thing I learned from this program is everything!”
