Our Mission is to provide mountain bike outings to youth who would not otherwise have that opportunity. We do that by taking in bikes and gear that you donate and reselling it to the community at an affordable rate. Executive Director, Stephen Janes, saw need in the community and he decided to launch a youth ride program, providing mountain bike outings to youth who would not otherwise have that opportunity.
His goal was to provide the outings at no cost to the youth. Since the inception of the program, he has never charged anyone to participate. Funding comes from The Bicycle Thrift Shop, a small store, filled to the brim with donated bikes, clothing, parts and gear. Donations come from local bike shops as well as community members who desire to see the program succeed.

Services
It costs $50 per trip, per kid, and we never charge the kids or the organizations we work with. Please help us continue providing mountain bike outings to youth who would not otherwise have that opportunity. The Bicycle Thrift Shop and Adventure Kids WNC is a 501 c3 non profit, registered with the IRS and The Secretary of State in North Carolina.
In addition to providing mountain bike outings to youth who would not otherwise have that opportunity, a goal of the shop is to provide bicycles and gear to our community at an affordable rate; providing transportation, recreation and a source of fitness to a population who would not normally have access to cycling.
