BICP Global Skills Day

In a major commitment to the future of the sport, 100% of the proceeds from Saturday’s public clinics will go directly to the BICP Scholarship Fund, which provides certification and continuing education for underrepresented and emerging instructors. This unique community initiative offers the general public access to world-class coaching from BICP Instructor Trainers for as little as $50 per session.

 Scholarships are awarded with a dedicated emphasis on empowering youth leaders, adaptive athletes, and individuals from historically underrepresented communities. This focus reflects BICP’s broader mission to build a more inclusive and equitable cycling culture through professional education and community-based leadership.

BICP is proud to be a self-funded organization, with the majority of its operating revenue generated through membership dues, course tuition, and program services. However, our commitment to equity and inclusion means that continually expanding access to scholarships will not be possible without additional philanthropic support.

Need for Support

Cycling is a powerful tool for community health, confidence building, mentorship, and equitable access to the outdoors. Yet many aspiring leaders—especially those from marginalized communities—face financial, cultural, and equipment-related barriers that limit their ability to pursue professional cycling instruction.

In 2025, the BICP Scholarship Program supported 33 participants in obtaining Ride Leader, Level 1, and Level 2 certifications. Demand far exceeded available funding. To meet the needs of a rapidly growing and increasingly diverse applicant pool, BICP’s goal for 2026 is to award 100 scholarships.

To reach this goal, BICP aims to raise $65,000 in 2026. These funds will directly support scholarships, adaptive training resources, and community programs designed to elevate inclusion in cycling.
