We build rural Newfoundland biking programs to empower youth through cycling adventures. Located in Glovertown serving all local communities in our region. 

Focused on youth, leadership, personal growth, and an active life outdoors.

At ABP we promote an active lifestyle for kids and youth through cycling: get off the couch and onto bikes! Since 2014 we’ve offered FREE youth rides, adventure bikepacking trips, teaching programs, and more with the support of generous partners.

We’re a small but mighty non-profit in rural Newfoundland, Canada.

How to help: Join a program, volunteer, or donate!
