Pedaling Possibility

Empowering South Africa's youth through cycling, mentorship, and safe spaces to ride.

Every Turn of the Wheel Unlocks a Brighter Future

Cycle Forward is an action-driven nonprofit that equips under-resourced kids with bikes, mentorship, and safe spaces to ride—transforming curiosity into confidence, and potential into purpose.

We're more than just an NGO—we're a movement to unlock the potential of young people through the transformative power of cycling. Born from a belief in the strength of community and the promise of youth, we're on a mission to create healthier, safer, and more connected neighborhoods—one ride at a time.
