Turning left behind Orenco School

Of the three areas of focus in our mission statement, Education is listed first because we believe it is the key to resolving most previously irreconcilable differences between motorists and bicyclists.

More than that, though, is health of our children and seniors, the economy and the planet as we all want to leave this place better than we found it and create Smart Cyclistswhile we do it.

To address the need, we conduct clinics, classes, workshops and seminars for all ages and interests, throughout Washington County, focusing on under-served communities.
