Five reasons we’re more than just a biking program
At Girls in Gear, we’re so more than just a biking program. We’re a friendship-building, confidence-boosting, challenge-taking adventure on two (three or four) wheels!
Builds Confidence: Girls in Gear helps riders take on new challenges (hello, biking uphill), step outside their comfort zones, and discover what they’re truly capable of. Every mile marker reached - whether it’s getting on a bike for the first time, learning to ride on two wheels, or leading a group ride reinforces their belief in themselves. The confidence girls build on their bikes extends from the classroom to home and beyond.
Promotes Independence: Girls gain valuable life skills that help them navigate their surroundings and make thoughtful choices on and off the bike. Learning how to ride safely, read maps, and understand their environment fosters a sense of autonomy and responsibility.
Fosters Friendships: Bike buddies are the best buddies! Riding together and sharing experiences fosters deep connections, allowing girls to build meaningful, lasting friendships.
Encourages Physical Activity: Girls in Gear introduces biking as a joyful, low-pressure way to stay active and healthy - no competition required. Riding a bike offers an accessible, lifelong way to move their bodies, boost their energy, and experience the freedom of being in motion. Girls develop a love for movement that supports both their physical and mental well-being.
Celebrates Self-Expression: Girls in Gear offers a space where every rider is encouraged to show up fully, try new things, and grow at their own pace.
