It Takes A Village
Working for the positive development of youth is our guiding mission. You and We are that Village.
Join Our Parent Advisory Committee
The Parent Advisory Committee is a place for parents to get to know each another. You can also help guide Triangle Bikeworks as we work to provide a better experience for your child.
Dream Staff
Kevin Hicks
Founder & Vol. Executive Director
He knows that one small nonprofit program in North Carolina may only affect a dozen or so youth every year. But Hicks likes the starfish parable, in which a beachgoer is throwing stranded starfish back into the sea and another person points out how one person can’t possibly save all of the starfish. “But it makes a difference to the ones I threw back,” the beachgoer responds. “I just plant the seed,” Hicks says.
“I believe bikes are your first introduction to freedom.”
Itza Salazar Martinez
Program Manager
Itza Salazar Martinez was one of original seven students who participated in Triangle Bikeworks’ pilot program in 2010. Before her first excursion with the group, she was unaware that national and state parks were open to the public. Several years later, the organization was excited to hire Salazar Martinez as its Program Director.
Lynn Weller
P/T Development Manager
Lynn joined Triangle Bikeworks upon excellent recommendation. She’s an innovative problem-solver with versatile program management, development, and communications expertise. Lynn brings her nonprofit expertise and love of cycling to benefit the organization.
OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS
What is our vision for the long ride?
The analogy of the long ride is intentional. Before leaving for a long ride you must have a destination and a plan when you get there. At Triangle Bikeworks we know exactly where we’re going and what we’ll do when we get there.
When there is no more work to do youth will have the opportunity to develop physically, socially, and academically to their full potential, regardless of their background, resources, and opportunity.
“I was able to see what most people wouldn’t see. I was able to learn what people wouldn’t learn because it’s a hidden treasure that school tries to cover up.” ~ SpokenRev Youth
