Trips for Kids Bay Area Helping youth shift gears since 1988. Our shared mission is to provide meaningful cycling programs that inspire children to achieve their highest potential.

Trips for Kids Bay Area is a registered chapter of the national Trips for Kids® 501(c)3 nonprofit based in San Rafael, California. Founded in 1988 and now operating in over 80 locations throughout the United States, Canada, Israel and Sierra Leone, TFK has opened the world of cycling to over 175,000 at-risk youth. All TFK chapters are managed and operated independently at the local level. We currently offer the Rides and Earn-A-Bike Programs, which aim to build self-esteem, teach about healthy lifestyles and instill environmental values. We also own and operate 'The Re-Cyclery Bike Shop' that sells affordably-priced, repurposed bikes, parts, accessories and clothing to the general public. You can purchase some items through our Facebook's E-bay Store.

Today, on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor the Indigenous peoples and communities whose histories, cultures, knowledge, and connection to the land continue to shape the Bay Area and beyond. As an organization that helps young people experience and connect with the outdoors, we recognize the importance of respecting the land, its history, and the people who have cared for it for generations.

Sometimes the best lessons don’t happen behind a desk. They happen on a trail, climbing a hill, helping a friend, or pushing yourself to go a little farther than you thought you could. Every ride brings a new experience.

It’s not always about who gets there first. Sometimes it’s about making sure everyone gets there together. Cycling gives young people a chance to connect, encourage each other, make friends, and discover what teamwork really looks like.

When the sprinklers are on and you’re already on two wheels… there’s only one option: ride straight through! 😂 Nothing like turning a bike ride into an unexpected splash zone.

That hill you thought you couldn’t climb? Keep pedaling.

Not every ride is easy—and that’s kind of the point. Every challenge is a chance to get stronger, learn something new, and discover that you can go a little further than you thought.

Nobody Gets Left Behind

Some riders are fast. Some are just getting started. What matters is that we ride, learn, and grow together. Encourage your crew, help each other out, and remember the best ride is the one everyone gets to enjoy.
