Abstract

The article discusses the Richmond Cycling Corps (RCC), a nonprofit organization that uses mountain biking to support and empower vulnerable youth in Richmond, Virginia. The team, made up of low-income and minority riders, faces challenges such as limited access to greenspace and recreational opportunities. The RCC provides a safe space for these riders to engage in the sport and offers support in various aspects of their lives, including tutoring and attending court appearances. The team's coach, Matt, is actively working to recruit riders from public housing and lower-income neighborhoods. The article highlights the positive impact the RCC has had on its riders and their potential to break the cycle of poverty. [Extracted from the article]
