Raleigh USA will provide its Talus 2 and Eva 2 kids bikes to Trips for Kids International (TFK) for the second year in a row.

Raleigh USA, a division of Accell North America, last year donated enough bikes to supply 10 new TFK chapters, enabling them to hit the trails quickly and to provide safe mountain bike adventures for children in their communities.
 
Raleigh's support helps TFK International expand its reach across North America and worldwide providing mountain bike outings for underserved, low income and at-risk youth. Last year, TFK helped five communities open chapters, and so far in 2015 TFK has opened six and is in the process of potentially starting three more.
 
“One of the greatest challenges facing our National Program chapters when they first get started is securing a safe and functional bike fleet,” said Marilyn Price, founding director of Trips for Kids. “Many thanks to Raleigh for continuing to provide these vital bike fleets for our new fledgling chapters and for helping Trips for Kids put more kids on bikes across the country.”
 
“Raleigh's guiding principles are to make cycling fun, enable more access to all, and to inspire a great start on a bicycle – all of which come to fruition with Trips for Kids and their mission to provide transformative cycling experiences for all children regardless of their life circumstances,” said Tabi Adkins, marketing manager for Raleigh. “We are privileged to be part of the Trips for Kids community through our National Program sponsorship.”
