About Triangle Bikeworks
We are not a cycling program. We are a transformation program that happens to use bikes.
The Story Behind the Ride
Triangle Bikeworks was founded on a simple but powerful belief: when you put a young person on a bicycle and challenge them to go farther than they thought possible, something shifts inside them. The miles are real. The hills are real. The discovery is real.
We serve youth from Durham, Chapel Hill, and Raleigh — young people who may never have ridden a bike before joining us, and who finish our programs having crossed state lines, made lifelong friends, and discovered a resilience they did not know they had.
Cycling is the vehicle. Transformation is the destination.
Our Mission
To help young people discover courage, leadership, resilience, history, community, and purpose through journeys that take them farther than they thought possible.
What We Are Not
We are not a sports program. We are not a recreation program. We are a youth development organization that uses the bicycle as a tool for building character, community, and confidence in young people who are ready to discover who they are.
Our Values
Courage
We ask young people to attempt things that scare them — and we ride with them every mile until they find out they can.
Community
No rider crosses the finish line alone. The team trains together, struggles together, and celebrates together.
Discovery
Every route is chosen for what it reveals — about the landscape, about history, and about the rider themselves.
