Asheville Youth Cycling was founded by Joe Coddington and Lesli Meadows to serve as a resource for WNC children and parents. The main purpose is to provide programs, service and information about cycling. We hope to accomplish the following: |
| 1. Increase participation in all aspects of cycling by young people. |
| 2. Assist local and state municipalities in providing recreational and educational opportunities. |
| 3. Position cycling equal to baseball, basketball, and soccer as a youth sport activity. |
| 4. Serve other organizations and groups involved in youth cycling. |
| 5. Use our non-profit status to raise funds for these programs |
| 6. Develop partnership with Parks and Recreations and other public programs to combat obesity and assist with youth. |
| 7. To use these programs as a pipeline for those who want to be involved in racing. |
