Who we are:
At Two Wheel View, we believe a bicycle can do far more than move someone from one place to another. It can build confidence, create connection, open opportunities, and change the trajectory of a young person’s life. Through bicycle education programs, mentorship, and hands-on experiences, we support youth in developing leadership skills, resilience, self-esteem, community connection, and employment readiness.
We are a mission-driven charity and social enterprise that uses the bicycle as a vehicle for change. Our work is rooted in the belief that all youth deserve the opportunity to reach their full potential. Every program, bike donation, refurbished bicycle, and community partnership contributes to creating meaningful experiences for youth and young adults ages 12 to 24.
Our team is made up of passionate changemakers who embrace our values (Respect - Authenticity - Resiliency - Adventure - Community). We work collaboratively, lead with empathy, and believe that real growth happens through meaningful relationships and real-world experiences. Like riding a bike, positive change takes balance, persistence, and forward momentum.
If you are excited about building stronger communities, empowering youth, and contributing to work that creates lasting impact, we encourage you to join us.
