PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (WPVI) — Across our area, local children are hopping on bikes to develop a lifelong passion.<\/p>\n

The goal of Independence Youth Cycling is to uplift members of their various teams.<\/p>\n

When they set out on the trail with their peers, they’re always in for a great ride.<\/p>\n

“Our nonprofit supports teams that operate in different leagues and series across Pennsylvania and New Jersey. 65 or more coaches that support our organization…Our teams would not be here if it wasn’t for the amazing green spaces and trail systems that we have in Philadelphia and Montgomery County,” said President and Founder of Independence Youth Cycling, John Raisch.<\/p>\n

“It’s been an amazing ride and we just want to see it continue into the future and be a strong, impactful organization,” he continued.<\/p>\n
