CYCLING AND DROP-IN: DROP-IN OFFERS TIME TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH MENTORS THROUGH PROJECTS, INCLUDING BIKE WORK AND STEAM ACTIVITIES. WE OFFER TRAIL, TRACK, ROAD, AND MOUNTAIN BIKE PROGRAMS THAT ALLOW STUDENTS TO BE ACTIVE AND SPEND TIME OUTDOORS WITH MENTORS. OUR MOUNTAIN BIKE TEAM COMPETES ACROSS THE STATE. IN 2025, TEENS HELPED TO UPDATE THE CITY'S CYCLING ORDINANCE. THEY COMPARED THE CITY ORDINANCE TO THE STATE'S CYCLING LAW, USED THEIR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AS CYCLISTS IN THE CITY TO RECOMMEND UPDATES, AND THEN ROLLED TO CITY HALL AND PRESENTED THEIR FINDINGS TO COUNCIL. THE UPDATED ORDINANCE PASSED IN APRIL!
