Southern Elite Cycling Team is a Houston-based cycling team focused on junior development. We are open to all levels of cyclists and focus on all types of cycling. We are dedicated to making cycling accessible for all, and run a bike recycling program to give bikes to all.
We have created a community of cyclists who are passionate about making the sport of cycling accessible to all. They have spent years working with different communities, schools, programs, and individuals to bring bikes to people who may not be able to afford one, as well as building incredible cyclists who may not have typically found the sport to be accessible to them. Richard has worked with people of all ages, circumstances, financial situations, communities, schools, and more to give this opportunity to anyone who may be interested. Although he has worked with young athletes for years, he has recently found himself working with two groups that have the opportunity to change the lives of their young people drastically.

cycle 180
Cycle 180 is a program the team has created to bring bikes to kids of all ages within the Houston area. They have recently been working with Frank Black Middle School in Houston ISD to teach students how to ride bikes as well as provide each of them with cycling equipment they did not have access to before. For some of these students, this is a sport, and for some, this is a mode of transportation that they truly cherish. We are hoping to use the funds to continue purchasing and recycling bicycles into the community in our Cycle 180 Program.

riders in recovery
Riders in Recovery is a 12-Step based program helping teens and their families who are dealing with addiction and other self-destructive behaviors. This program enables teens to build self esteem, confidence and physical conditioning to create sustainable recovery. Teens earn their way into the program by showing consistency in recovery, by completing an intensive mountain-bike maintenance internship and must become CPR and First Aid Certified. To enhance fitness and physical conditioning, they will also attend weekly training sessions led by athletes experienced in transforming novice peddlers into confident riders. Finally, to instill the value of commitment, the teens will learn about budgeting time, money and effort that will ultimately allow them to achieve ownership of their own bike. We would like to use these funds to help these riders have access to bicycles, as well as take them on cycling trips throughout the year.
