NICA Values
Fun
NICA inspires friendship, joy, and adventure.
Respect
NICA expects consideration for all others, oneself, and the outdoors.
Inclusivity
NICA believes everyone should be able to participate in our programs and feel welcomed, respected and supported.
Community
NICA unites diverse people, families and communities through cycling by creating fun and welcoming experiences.
Equity
NICA is committed to fair treatment, equal access, opportunity, advancement and elimination of barriers to encourage participation for all.
Our goal is to have at least one PA Interscholastic Cycling League program in every PA school district by 2025.
We are driving toward a future where every student in PA has access to Adventure and Competitive mountain bike programming and is encouraged to robustly engage in community service through Teen Trail Corps trail stewardship activities.
Every day we work to develop and support programs and curriculum that allow us to reach into communities across the Commonwealth and introduce students of every skill level and background to the many diverse, positive benefits of mountain biking.
We welcome students with all levels of riding experience and invite them to explore this life-long sport. We provide class-leading Competitive experiences across the state, with more to come as we grow in more places, but there is no mandate to race. For riders uninterested in racing, we’ve created an entirely new opportunity in youth sport – to participate in Adventure experiences, which are open to those who just want to explore their world and themselves.
Our participants can choose to mix and match these experiences to their heart’s content. We weave threads of community service and character development through it all as we’re out having a blast weaving our way through PA’s incredible forested single-track trails.
