El Grupo is a non-profit youth cycling team in Tucson, Arizona that affords the opportunities of cycling to local teens who otherwise would not get the chance.

Our mission is to empower youth through bicycles. We specifically target at-risk youth (aged 12-18) from low-income, underserved populations. We aim to instill traits such as courage, integrity, life-long healthy habits, and sportsmanship through bicycle advocacy, riding and racing bicycles. We embrace all forms of cycling from road and mountain bike racing to bicycle touring and daily commuting. We are currently the #1 junior development team in Arizona.

We are getting kids on bikes, and they in turn are teaching and inspiring other kids (and adults) to ride, enjoy, and love bikes, too. El Grupo is developing the next generation of cycling enthusiasts in Tucson.
