Our Mission: We are a children’s charity dedicated to improving 2nd Grade literacy at Title One schools in the Greater Houston area
We envision every student in the Greater Houston area achieving grade-level reading or above by the end of 3rd grade, putting them on the path to success and empowering them to reach their full potential in school and life.
​
We give young students the opportunity to earn a bicycle for achieving their set goals, and in return, they learn that hard work equals reward. We believe that learning this lesson can put school children on the path to a brighter future.
CYCLE is a children’s charity that rewards students with new bicycles for achieving better academic performance in the classroom
Only 37% of HISD third-graders hit Texas reading standards in 2013. Statistics like this are not uncommon throughout Greater Houston, but we are working hard to change these figures one bike at a time. With our bicycle programs, we encourage children to be active physically and mentally, empowering them to improve their literacy and possibly break the cycle of poverty.
