About the provider

FLYRS was founded in April 2016. The organization says it has grown each season and served almost 1,100 youth in 2025. Its mission is to develop resilient, caring, and growth-oriented youth through mountain biking and to strengthen the community by providing an ecosystem of bike-centric programs, events, and opportunities. FLYRS says it is community driven, with parents, teachers, sponsors, and trail advocates supporting the organization, and it offers free scholarship programs and free after-school riding opportunities within Flagstaff Unified School District schools.

FLYRS says all locations are subject to change and recommends checking the location schedule before each practice. Parents are asked not to attend Push Bikers practices. Training wheels are not permitted in the 4-5 Year Olds group. The 5-6 Year Olds program is for children not yet in 1st grade. The 1st & 2nd Grade group is not suitable for children still learning to ride.
