On the morning of Sunday, November 10, midtown Tucson was alive with the spirit of cycling as riders hit the streets for the annual Fall Fondo fundraiser, a key event organized by El Grupo Youth Cycling .The event, now in its 11th year, attracted dozens of riders who took on 75-, 50- and 35-mile routes to raise money for the organization, which focuses on empowering Tucson's youth through biking.
“Just to be able to say this is my lane, I’m going to stay right here and I’m going to keep myself and my group safe, is something we want to make sure that our kids learn on the ride, so when they’re off the bike, it comes just as easily.She notes that “a lot of our kids, when they take their driver’s test, they don’t have to take it twice.”Through El Grupo, young cyclists receive not only equipment like bikes and helmets but also training, support and a welcoming community.
