Where does the money go?

trail building and Maintenance

Over 50 miles of mountain bike trail in Brazos County are maintained entirely by volunteers. We buy what volunteers can't: tools, materials, and professional help on the sections that need a machine.

$19 builds a foot of new trail. $500 maintains a mile for a year — because volunteers do the labor, your $500 does here what $4,000 does most places.

supporting local youth cycling teams

We have donated time, two mountain bikes, and bike parts to local youth cycling teams. Help us do more!

The Brazos Valley Bike (formerly College Station Composite) team has more than 20 coaches showing up for 30+ riders every week. It's a College Station ISD club, riders earn off-campus PE credit, and nobody sits the bench.

$350 covers a full season for one rider — six months of coached instruction, six race weekends, insurance, and skills clinics. That's the exact Texas NICA program fee, not an estimate. $38 background-checks a new coach, which every NICA coach must pass before riding with a kid.

community Bicycle Infrastructure

College Station ranks first in Texas for the percentage of people who bike to work (U.S. Census Bureau).

We're not a lobbying group and we don't do politics. We buy things: bike racks, trail signage, repair stations — the small, unglamorous stuff that makes riding here easier and that nobody's budget covers.

$250 puts a bike rack somewhere it's needed — a school, a park, a trailhead. $1,000 puts a public repair station at a trailhead, so a flat doesn't end someone's ride.
