Phoenix Bikes is back with another
Raisin' Ride: Sizzling Summer Century!

Thirteen years ago, 16 riders showed up and raised $8,000 for something they believed in – creating pathways for local youth to reach their utmost potential.On August 1, join Arlington’s funnest nonprofit with a serious mission — and help us serve more youth through bikes, skills, and career pathways.Phoenix Bikes is more than bikes — it’s a place where youth build, ride, and lead.Like many small nonprofits, we are a lean operation. Last year, we exceeded our original goal of $80,000 and our stretch goal of $100,000. This year, we are aiming even higher — $120,000 — and we need your help if we are going to serve every youth who is ready to build, ride, and lead with us.
Raisin' Ride participants fundraise to make a lasting impact on the lives of local youth.Once again, we will be leaving from the Phoenix Bikes shop at the Arlington Mill Community Center and heading out on the W&OD Trail. There are multiple distance options: ride between 9 to 100 miles – you do not have to ride the full century!This is a fully supported ride. Enjoy rest stops, cheering squads, and great company.Can't make it on August 1?
