Ready2Race

Foundation Ready2Race is part of Team Visma | Lease a Bike and therefore closely linked to our team. Ready2Race offers low-threshold events that introduce young people to cycling. We believe that everything starts with enthusiasm. In this case, enthusiasm for cycling and sports cycling. In this way, we make cycling a habit from an early age and thus a part of their lives. In this way, we contribute to a more vital society. And the more children and young people enjoy sports cycling, at whatever level, the more likely it is that cycling talents will surface. That is why we do not focus on performance, but on the fun of sportive cycling.

Ready2Race consists of three different activities:

• Ready2Race Thick Tyre Race
  Events on bikes with ‘fat’ tires for 2 to 12-year-olds.
• Ready2Race School clinic
  Clinic on cycling courses for primary schools and classes 1, and 2 of secondary school.
• Ready2Race Clinic
  Clinics on road bikes outside school hours for 11 to 15-year-olds

• This year, we have organised more than 200 events and introduced thousands of children to cycling.
• Did you know that very few children have ever sat on a racing bike? At Ready2Race, we are changing that!
• Several children joined a cycling club after participating in Ready2Race.
• Did you know that Riejanne Markus, Robert Gesink and many other cyclists once started with a Dikke Banden Race?
• Did you know that you too can (help to) organise a Ready2Race event? Interested? Get in touch with us! info@ready2race.nl
