Ride bikes, get more kids and girls on bikes and cheers the day in pure bandana style. Be Bold.

This is an update on the AMT Bandana Collection that you have come to love. It brings adventure, my family's ranch, and the liquid gold poppies of California to the effervescent sunflowers of the Midwest and beyond into the Bear den of overlanding and camping and great explorations.

Keep that bandana gravel style popping and celebrate the beauty of this one precious life. Proceeds support two amazing causes to get more kids on bikes. The project is powered by the bicycle and YOU.

It's not just a bandana, it supports Outride and Nica's NorCal MTB and Coyote Composite team and the work that they’re doing to make cycling more accessible and inclusive.

All aboard! Proceeds raised from these NEW AMT bandanas will go towards Outride and Coyote Composite, NICA Youth MTB Team Emporia Kansas. In addition to supporting these rad organizations, you get to celebrate riding your bike all day long from sunrise to sunset.

We have done great things with the AMT Bandanas and will keep doing it, together. It is a convoy of riding bikes together with a purpose. The original AMT Bandana collection raised enough money for 5 scholarships for the NorCal High School Cycling League GRiT (Girls Riding Together), as well as funding donations towards Outride and the Life Time Foundation. And now we keep that train a rollin’!

It is about fun, inclusivity, character, education, and community.

Riding for focus. You know that bikes not only give us an outlet to improve physical health , but also have deep cognitive and socio-emotional value. Believe me. Bike therapy is real. Through research, school-based cycling programs, and matching community grants. Outride harnesses the benefits of cycling for youth at schools nationwide. I am a huge advocate for Outride and have done many school visits and have seen the power the bicycle has for young people. The purchase of this bandana will go towards Outride and their mission to diversify the next generation of cyclists by getting 50,000 youth on bikes annually. 

Outride is an anti-racist cycling organization that partners with schools, community partners, coaches, teams, and cyclists to advance more equitable, inclusive, and healthy futures for youth. We believe that bicycles have the ability to improve the wellbeing of youth. Bicycles also bring opportunity, agency, freedom, and joy to those who have access to the power of two wheels. Outride is committed to breaking down barriers so that all kids have access to bikes and safe places to ride.

Race worldwide, support local communities. Emporia, Kansas is so special to me. And it will be for you too! It is like my second home and where I found my gravel family. Unbound Gravel orbits the beautiful town of Emporia. And not only do we get to enjoy the Flint Hills, we can invest in their community by giving back. Coyote Composite, a National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) youth mountain bike team, is in its second year of existence. Through the tireless support of the community and volunteers, they invite all student-athletes from 6th grade through 12 grade to learn bike skills, build friendships, and help grow the sport of cycling. Purchasing this bandana will go towards this incredible program and invest in creating youth cycling programs where we love to ride gravel the most!

A Kansas Interscholastic Cycling League NICA organization was formed in 2021 to provide a safe, fun, and structured environment for student athletes to build skills on the bicycle with a focus on trail riding. 

With support from local volunteers, partners, and sponsors we are able to provide a high quality inclusive cycling experience while teaching riding practices, bike maintenance, and community building. We believe this to be a solid foundation for healthy life long habits surrounding outdoor recreation.

Regardless of ability level, Coyote Composite is committed to providing student athletes grades 6 - 12 the tools they need to be successful and grow both on and off the bicycle for years to come!
