Get involved with NICA youth mountain biking - Trek Bicycle

We’re committed to getting more kids on bikes

Trek and Trek retailers make up the largest annual contribution to the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA). In addition to providing startup funding for new leagues and offering discounts for NICA student-athletes and coaches, Trek donates $10 from the sale of every Trek full suspension mountain bike directly to NICA. Many Trek retailers match this donation.

We’re committed to this cause because more kids on bikes makes the world a better place, and because teaching kids that time spent on the trail is time well-spent is a great way to set them up for success later in life.

Whether you’re a NICA student-athlete, a coach, a retailer looking to help, or a supporter who wants to join in on the fun—here’s where you’ll find all the important NICA-related resources.
