Pedal it Forward
Give someone the chance to ride!
Pedal It Forward is a community-powered initiative that helps Canberrans experiencing financial hardship access our cycling programs.
Whether it's a child learning to ride, a single parent building confidence on the road, an older woman learning to cycle for the very first time — we believe everyone should have the chance to enjoy the freedom, fun, and benefits of riding a bike.
Through small, tax-deductible donations, Pedal It Forward provides subsidised spots in Pedal Power’s learn-to-ride courses and social rides for those who need a little extra support.
Who your donation helps
Your support goes directly to individuals who meet one or more of the following criteria:
Holders of a Commonwealth Health Care Card
Members of single-parent households with demonstrated financial need
Others in the community facing temporary financial hardship, assessed on a case-by-case basis
These funds are not used for membership discounts, they are strictly allocated to participation in our cycling programs.
Why it matters
Children and families are increasingly absent from our bike paths due to safety concerns and affordability
The cost-of-living crisis is making it harder for many to prioritise activities that support physical and mental wellbeing
Your donation can help break down those barriers.
How to donate
Donations are processed securely through the Australian Sports Foundation, and are fully tax-deductible.
