Apex Bike Programs is the umbrella term for all of Apex's cycling and biking initiatives, including Earn a Bike, Open Shop, the Apex Pre-Apprenticeship Program, Bike Bus, Summer Rides, and Mountain Bike Rides. These are among our most impactful offerings, allowing us to distribute hundreds of low- or no-cost bicycles to youth annually. Through these programs, young people gain access to positive mentorship, learn hands-on mechanical skills, develop community navigation abilities, and cultivate a lifelong appreciation for physical activity and nature. On average, these programs serve over 200 youth each year.
