Quotes
Lisa from Elkins Park
The team has given my daughter and our family an activity we all enjoy doing together. I love seeing kids smiling and having fun. This is the definition of community and I feel blessed that my family is a part of it.
The team culture continues to be reflected in my son’s character in how he approaches obstacles, overcomes adversity and treats other kids. I am forever thankful for this experience.
Sean from Upper Dublin
Our daughter has learned a lot of great skills and has demonstrated endurance that surprised all of us. She beams with pride when she finishes practices and races.
The team has given my son the opportunity to explore a cool, new challenging sport in a supportive team environment with coaches who are terrific role models.
This team has been a great experience for my son and he feels included. He’s made friends and has set personal goals to reach in each race. The fundamental bike and fitness skills he is learning will last him a lifetime.
