Club Tools

YBONC is proud to assist and work directly with Nevada County local youth bike clubs. We can provide forms, advice, networking, and more.

We work with the following local clubs:

  • Miners High School Mountain Bike Team
  • Clear Creek School Bike Club
  • Union Hill Bike Club
  • Seven Hills Bike Club
  • Lyman Gilmore Bike Club
  • Mount Saint Marys Bike Club
  • Grass Valley Charter Club
  • Yuba River Charter Club

We have a large base of cyclists and cycling groups here in Nevada County and surrounding counties. There is a club or advocacy group for nearly every aspect of cycling. Below is a list of organizations that we work with to promote biking, develop trails, and advance safe riding routes for all cyclists.

The success of a school bike club is parent and volunteer involvement, creating a model of physical fitness activity for youths, families, and communities. Engaging youths early on to physical activities as part of a healthy lifestyle reduces later onset illnesses such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, etc.
