Help Our Mission
Rochester Youth Cycling Club is an incorporated nonprofit 501(c)(3) club operating in conjunction with the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA).
Your support and contributions will enable us to meet our mission for our Student Riders and youth cycling.
Donations to RYCC are tax deductible in accordance with Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 170.
How your Contribution Helps Kids
Youth cycling is expensive — and that cost can be a barrier to participation.
Rochester Youth Cycling Club exists to make mountain biking accessible, safe, and development-focused for kids in our community, regardless of family income. We loan club equipment to riders so anyone can participate. Our scholarship program allows riders to earn their bikes through their dedication to the team and the sport.
Every dollar you donate gets us one step closer to having another kid riding with us.
Coaches Wanted
Rochester Youth Cycling Club Coaches
NICA coach’s are roll models and teacher’s who are open to leading and learning the best practices of youth mountain biking.
By being a RYCC coach you become a skilled and dedicated NICA volunteer and you are the most important aspect of a NICA interscholastic mountain bike team.
Please contact us to learn more.
Donations Welcome
Used Bikes Can Make a Substantial Impact
If you have a used trail-worthy mountain bike, please consider donating it to RYCC where one of our lucky youth will put it to a great use!
Our members must each have their own bike, which can be a huge barrier to the sport for some. When we have bikes available, we open the sport to those that would otherwise be unable to participate. This greatly expands the sport of Mountain Biking in the Rochester area.
We can often use other biking accessories and clothing, so if you have something you think we might use, please send us a note. We’d love to give your items new life.
As a 501(c)(3) we’re happy to provide receipts for any charitable donation you make to our club.
