Pedaling Minds is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded by Olympian Mike Friedman and King of Pets, Walter, in 2014. Pedaling Minds teaches youth from all communities to ride bikes confidently, fostering lifelong cycling skills that support both physical and mental health. Our culturally-responsive, trauma-informed approach focuses on helping youth and coaches build self-confidence, emotional regulation, and self-compassion. This leads to a greater understanding of themselves, others, and their environment.
Our mission is to help every person have fun riding a bike with control and confidence. We use the bicycle to nurture well-rounded riders and coaches.
Pedaling Minds is at a critical crossroads, needing to raise $20,000 to sustain its mission over the next two weeks, when we’ll be able to use restricted funds for programming. We are reaching out to you for support during this challenging time, and help us save the organization! Without these funds, we risk having to close our doors and halt the incredible work we do in our communities. Your contribution will directly help us continue offering transformative experiences that inspire and equip young people with the skills and confidence to pedal toward brighter futures. We ask for your help to keep our wheels turning and our programs alive. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to securing the future of Pedaling Minds. Together, we can make sure this vital work continues.
