From Ana Fajardo, AoB Event Coordinator & Youth Cycling Coach:
“When you donate to AoB, you support youth programs.

Its fun for the kids, and its fun for our coaches too! Bike Club runs in conjunction with Asheville City Schools Foundation and In Real Life (IRL) to offer this afterschool bike instruction at Asheville Middle School.

When you’re at bike club, you have the opportunity to watch students’ confidence build as they practice bike handling, ride up and down Asheville’s hills, and safely learn to ride a bike for transportation.

When you’re at bike club, you see the friendly competition between students trying to skid cardboard the furthest distance across the field with their bikes. You hear the shrieks of joy when they ride down singletrack at Mountainside Park.

Donate today to help us raise $14,000 more to meet our donor match challenge by Saturday’s Pumpkin Pedaller.“

There are many ways to support the Pumpkin Pedaller, and we need your help! Volunteer roles include setup, bike park, kiosk, and pedal patrol. All shifts will occur day of the event, Saturday, 10/24.

Setup: Help AoB staff set up the event space. This will be at the beginning of the event on Saturday morning and is a great way to get your shift done early and join the party!
AoB Kiosk: Accept donations, answer questions, sell merchandise, help people sign waivers, and more!
Bike Park: Set up and manage the youth bike course. Volunteers will work with AoB coaches to ensure that participants are wearing helmets, following the course in the correct direction and leaving adequate space between participants, and supporting participants through the obstacles. This is a GREAT shift for those who love working with youth!
Pedal Patrol: Join riders out on the course and cheer them on, marking an important turn to ensure riders are safe and on the right track. You’ll be assigned to an intersection for your shift and will return to New Belgium after the ride sweep comes through. You can also volunteer as a ride leader for one of our three routes.

Shifts are two hours long. If you’re willing and able to support more than one shift, please sign up for as many as you’d like, and send the volunteer form to a friend! Link 🔗 in bio.

EXCITING NEWS! We’re celebrating Hellbender inaugural season, local favorites Wednesday, and Halloween with a ride that we hope is the beginning of more bike-friendly collaborations in 2027.

AoB is teaming up with friends at 𝗦 𝗟 𝗢 𝗡 𝗨 𝗧 𝗦 for a group ride to the Hellbender from the River Arts District.

Feel more comfortable and confident getting to and from the venue by bike with a group! There are two ride options that begin from Wedge Studios to accommodate your schedule. We’ll ride together, arrive together, and provide secure bike valet parking so you can enjoy the show. Following the concert, we’ll ride back to the River Arts District.

You do NOT have to be attending the concert to join the ride, and you do not have to ride with us to use our free bike valet service!
