BV Velo Youth Program

Our two-month youth program (ages 12 - 18) is back for 2026! We ride on Tuesday evenings and Sunday mornings.  This program is designed to build foundational cycling skills, teach safe road riding, introduce bicycle maintenance, and train to be fit road and gravel cyclists. The program culminates with the Tour de Smithers (May 31). An overnight bikepacking adventure on June 6-7 will cap off our 2026 program.

Times: Tuesdays 4-6pm, Sundays 9-11:30am.
