Named after the legendary Major Taylor, the first Black world champion cyclist, this program is dedicated to inspiring, educating, and empowering youth through cycling, leadership development, and community engagement.

With a focus on bike safety, mentorship, and skills-building, Major Taylor KIDZ provides opportunities for young cyclists to grow both on and off the bike. Through initiatives like the Cycling Heroes Coloring Book, hands-on training, and an upcoming online curriculum for youth and coaches, the program promotes confidence, teamwork, and a lifelong love for cycling. Major Taylor KIDZ is more than just a cycling program — it’s a movement that encourages young people to embrace adventure, challenge themselves, and become leaders in their communities.
