About us
Trips for Kids Charlotte is a nonprofit that provides mountain bike rides - as well as the opportunity to Earn-A-Bike - for children ages 10 to 15 from Charlotte's fragile neighborhoods.
The organization uses mountain biking and related activities to teach youngsters lessons in personal responsibility, self-empowerment, achievement, environmental awareness, physical fitness and community service.
The Earn-A-Bike program is at the organization's Re-Cyclery in NoDa (corner of 15th and N. Davidson streets), where the public may also donate "dusty but not rusty" bikes or buy a refurbished bike. Proceeds from the Re-Cyclery help fund the overall program.
