Junior Cycling Grant Program by Bike Legal

JUNIOR CYCLING GRANT PROGRAM 2026

At Bike Legal, we are more than just a personal injury law firm—we are passionate cyclists committed to supporting the cycling community. Our dedication extends beyond legal services to actively fostering the growth of the sport we love. That’s why in 2024, we proudly launched our Junior Cycling Grant Program.  This cycling grant program is designed to assist the next generation of cyclists by providing financial support to young riders across the United States. Whether you’re a budding road racer, mountain biker, gravel rider, or track cyclist, we’re here to help.

The cycling grant money can be used for purchasing bikes, cycling gear, paying for race fees, or coaching sessions. Our goal is to remove financial barriers so that kids under 18 can focus on what they love—riding and racing.

Why We Started this Program

Cycling has the power to shape lives, build character, and instill a lifelong passion for fitness and adventure. However, the costs associated with competitive cycling can be daunting for many families. Through the Junior Cycling Grant Program, we aim to ease this burden, ensuring that financial limitations don’t stand in the way of a young rider’s potential.
