Wheel Fun

06/18/2026

52 schools. 11 counties. One incredible year.

As we wrap up another season, we are reminded that Wheel Fun has never been about bikes alone.

It is about helping young people build confidence, find belonging, connect with caring adults, and discover what they are capable of.

This year, students rode thousands of miles, learned new skills, made new friends, explored their communities, and created memories that will last a lifetime. None of it would be possible without the coaches, schools, families, volunteers, donors, and partners who show up for kids every day.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

Here's to an amazing year and an even brighter future for Arizona kids. 🚲💙

As the 2025-2026 school year comes to a close, we are celebrating one of the most impactful years in Wheel Fun's history.

🚲 Big news for Apache County! 🚲

We are excited to officially welcome the Legacy Teen Center Middle School Program to the Wheel Fun family as the first Wheel Fun program in Apache County.

What started with a trailer full of bikes, helmets, and excitement is now creating new opportunities for local youth to build confidence, develop healthy habits, make connections, and experience the freedom that comes from riding together.

This launch would not be possible without the incredible partnership and support of the Legacy Teen Center, Apache County, dedicated community leaders, and volunteers who believe in investing in young people.

Every new program represents more than bikes. It represents a community coming together to ensure kids are known, supported, and given the chance to thrive.

Welcome to the team, Legacy Teen Center. We cannot wait to see where this journey leads. 💙

One more ride. One more adventure. One more afternoon these kids will remember for a long time. 🚲☀️

Julia Randall Elementary closed out the season the best way possible, together on bikes, exploring Payson, laughing with friends, and making the most of every mile.

What makes this program special is not just the riding. It is the confidence built along the way, the encouragement between teammates, and the simple joy of kids getting outside and being kids.

Huge thank you to the coaches, families, and community that made this season possible. 💙

Today we took an epic ride as this was Coach Pardee’s last day coaching at Drachman, home to one of the longest running WF clubs in Southern Arizona.

Coach Pardee’s Final Ride has shown what it means to be a dedicated coach, and creating a club culture that makes kids excited to ride.

But don’t worry — Wheel Fun is staying at Drachman and we’re not losing Coach; she’s heading to a new school and starting a new Wheel Fun club there…..MORE KIDS ON BIKES 🙌 and more Wheel Fun adventures to come, THANK YOU COACH PARDEE! 💚

A huge thank you to Sundt Construction for supporting our Pima County school based bike clubs. 🚲

We had the opportunity to welcome Britni and Austin out to Gladden Farms Elementary alongside Principal and Wheel Fun Board President Naya Persaud. Coach Emilio, Coach Arron, and Coach Lyndie were also there to receive the award, along with a special surprise visit from Councilman Cavanaugh.

Moments like this are a reminder that it truly takes a community coming together to support kids. We are incredibly grateful for the partnerships, encouragement, and belief in what these programs are doing for students across Pima County.

Thank you for helping us create more opportunities for kids to build confidence, connection, and belonging through Wheel Fun. 💙

That’s a wrap for the Spring 2026 season at Manzanita Elementary! 🚲☀️

From first rides to big confidence, this crew showed up every week ready to ride, encourage each other, and have fun. We’re proud of the friendships built, the skills learned, and the miles shared together this season.

Thank you to our students, families, coaches, and school staff for making this another unforgettable season with Wheel Fun. See you on the trails next year! 💚
