About Us
The Young Riders Youth Cycling program, founded in 1996 as a way to keep kids, happy and healthy when the snow melts, works to improve fitness, build friendships, explore the environment and establish responsibility in youths throughout the Park City area.
Our qualified coaches and instructors, make riding safe, fun and adventuresome for riders of any age or ability. On each ride, we explore an aspect in each of the following mountain bike issues; healthy lifestyles, technical skills, mechanical skills, responsible riding, wayfinding, proper trail etiquette, and respect for the environment.
Off the bike, the Young Riders is passionate about your kids and a 'Greener' tomorrow. We work closely with other advocacy groups in the area to help promote sustainable programs such as, Share the Road, Safe routes to School, and others.
