About Shifting Gears
We host programs to empower you. Participants walk away with the skills and tools needed to attain their recreational goals.
Whether it be learning how to change a flat tire, go above and beyond physically by cycling 30 or 100 miles, locating accessible trails or finding a hiking partner, back or bikepacking for the first time, inspiring goals, or just remembering how to play... our aim is to create a welcoming environment for all women to join in, learn, and enjoy.
Mission
Shifting Gears empowers all women through outdoor recreation and education opportunities to remove barriers and foster belonging.
