Belief grows through experience

Put the tools
in their hands.

A bicycle gives students something they can take apart, understand, repair, and use. Each lesson is a chance to ask questions, work through a challenge, and see their progress.

Through Lucky to Ride, Porter-Billups Leadership Academy students explore the bicycle as a simple machine. Instructors from Lucky Bikes bring STEM to life through a multi-session course in bicycle mechanics and safe riding—with valuable life skills woven into every lesson.

At graduation, students receive their own bicycle, a new helmet, a lock, and a tool kit. They leave equipped to keep putting their skills into practice.
