Impact

Your ride matters!

DC Bike Ride is proud to support our local community by contributing a portion of ride proceeds to local initiatives that support our mission to make cycling safer, more fun, and inclusive.

Our COMMITMENT

IN ACTION

Graduation on Wheels is our flagship program that directly impacts children in underserved DMV communities. We’re thrilled to share that at our 2nd annual event on June 13, 2025, we partnered with CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield to give bikes to over 200 students!

See Bike Giveaway In Action

For the past two years, we’ve gathered at Kenilworth Parkside in June to celebrate over 200 students annually from seven DCPS schools. Each graduating student receives their very own bike, helmet, and lock upon completing the Health and Physical Education’s (HPE) Biking in the Park program. Established in 2015, this program teaches every second-grader how to ride a bike as part of their curriculum. To make their new bikes even more exciting, DC Bike Ride has also provided Ride Passes to all recipients, their families, and teachers, inviting them to join us at the DC Bike Ride to take their new wheels for a spin!
