Sponsored by the EduIn-nov8 Foundation and led by Cycle2Ride skills development NPO, the Bicycle League isn’t just about racing—it’s about transformation.

In rural areas and informal urban settlements, where opportunities can be scarce, this program is changing lives by unlocking talent and providing young riders with the chance to chase their potential.

The League uses a qualification system to manage fair program growth and scale across cluster, district, and regional events, capping the rider load per category at 40 riders. The top five riders in each category receive a podium medal at each event.
