Membership and Donations
Y become a member? (FREE Membership) - Ycycle is a collective of educators, interested riders and supporters. Membership has its benefits: sticker, blog access, why cycling is fun posting, members-only contests, insurance coverage for Ycycle events and more. By joining Ycycle, you become part of the educational process, part of the movement and help support Ycycle as stewards of Cycling education. We will all learn together and educate people on Y to cycle.
Y Donate? – Ycycle operates entirely on donations. We are not currently a non-profit or not-for-profit entity. It is one of our goals to apply for non-profit status in the future. Currently, the operating expenses are growing and have been paid for by my VISA. As Cycling Education and Cycling is our passion, we do not hesitate to fund this great cause. However, any help is appreciated no matter how small the amount is. Please help us fund education through your donations , Thank you for your support !
How to donate? -A PayPal account has been set up for Ycycle to collect support. At local events like the “PCRS races” or at the “Free Ycycle Green-Fit-Fun Ride” there will be donation, hats, jars or other receptacles to collect support. Please help us fund education through your donations , Thank you for your support !
Donate Merchandise for Raffle prizes – A great way to show support and showcase your products is to donate merchandise or certificates to our events, contests or raffle prizes. Our membership will be happy to win stuff and try new things. For our events we always need food and water and maybe beer. =)
Partnerships – Ycycle can help you get information out to interested cyclists. We believe the educational process involves many people, organizations and businesses. Together we can provide support to each other to enable educational seminars and events. Together we can also give our membership the best in education and cycling support.
