Training Wheels, Inc. was established in 2001 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation organized in the state of Georgia. Training Wheels, Inc. sole purpose is to establish a comprehensive bicycle-racing program for young men and women between the ages of 14 and 18 with an additional for U-23's.

Our goal with CycleYouth is two-part:
The first is to build an elite level junior racing program that will develop young racers to compete and win on a national level. Through intelligent career planning and top-notch coaching we can succeed in turning out the best the southeast has to offer. We have already been hard at work with several budding junior stars. Second, is to provide a general life-long understanding of health and well being through the sport of cycling for our youth.

To build a racing program based here in the southeast in which we compete on a national level is no small thing. Such a program has not been seen in our area. We need this to happen now. Currently there is no real outlet for our talented young racers to train and race at a higher level. We started this process by identifying talent. We then, through coaching, made training options available to the athlete that most efficiently brought about fitness. We now have a handful of the most able junior racers in the country. Now it is time to help with equipment needs so each rider has the best available technology at his/her disposal. Our program also helps them at the races as well as helps them get there.

Travel to National level competitions is a big focus for us in 2005. Our top racers are capable of winning any or all the Junior National events around the country, including the National Championships and Worlds qualifiers. We want CycleYouth to be the Worlds Team! Nationals involve both driving and flying athletes to the event and providing accommodations. These national events are important for giving our racers exposure to higher levels of competition and making inroads to the next phase of their careers. We will also continue to dominate regionally as always.

The mission for us is to continue raising the money and support required to fund and implement such a program. The vision for us is to establish the pipeline for young bicycle racers in the southeastern region and move them on to the national and international bicycle racing teams as adults.

CycleYouth will consist of racers of varying abilities and ages to whom we nurture. We move riders to the top tier when they are ready to compete and train at the highest levels. Our efforts are building an elite level junior racing program here in the southeast. Our system works: put the best coaches with the best riders on the best equipment and do nothing less than everything necessary to be 100%.
