Independence Youth Cycling (IYC), a 501c3 non-profit, supports programs that use bicycling to encourage middle- and high-school girls and boys to be active, good community members, and self-reliant. Supported programs focus mainly on activities related to mountain biking, including adventure, training, racing, and environmental stewardship. We currently serve the greater Philadelphia area and while we have been in operation for over 5 years we will be launching officially in Fall of 2021.
