Mountain bikers come from all walks of life, and you’re never too young or old to start riding. Cycle-CNY is on a mission to promote mountain biking as a viable activity for sheer enjoyment, as a vehicle to long-term health, and as a conduit to better understand the fragile environment we cohabitate.
Communities that embrace the many virtues of mountain biking invariably benefit from that sponsorship. Few endeavors are of greater interest to Cycle-CNY than the maintenance and expansion of mountain biking trails and activities in the Southern Tier of New York. Learn more.
The National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) provides interscholastic mountain biking programs for student-athletes across the United States. NICA (pronounced NYE-cah) uses mountain bikes as a tool to build strong minds, bodies, character, and community. Through local teams, trained coaches, and world-class events, NICA helps young people thrive both on and off the bike—building confidence, leadership, and friendships.
The Cycle-CNY region is home to some fantastic NICA mountain biking teams. The Finger Lakes Crank Spinners, Chenango Shredders, and Galena Growlers offer great opportunities for local youths to get involved with mountain biking. These are co-ed composite teams, meaning they are not affiliated with one particular school; instead, made up of riders from all over the area! Learn more here.
