Our focus shifts from gift-giving to awarding bicycles for academic achievement as we begin working directly with School Districts in the greater Houston area.

In this milestone year we award our 100,000th bicycle.

CYCLE is born. We expand upon our mission, reach, and goals after seeing some inspiring results.
