DEVELOPMENTAL ESCAPE VELOCITY ORGANIZATION.
DEVO is Vancouver's oldest and most successful youth cycling program. Founded in 1999, it has helped launch the careers of some of Canada's top cyclists, from novice riders up to national champions racing professionally.
Riders build bike skills and fitness, and the mental skills to persevere through challenges, be part of a team, and reach personal and team goals.
OUR MISSION.
A FUN TEAM
WHATEVER THE GOAL
KIND HUMANS
A fun environment and a community where athletes develop all the skills to reach their full potential, as athletes and as people.
The tools, skills, fitness and experience to compete at any stage, locally, nationally or at world championships.
Most importantly, riders who become well-rounded, resilient, problem solving, gritty, tough and kind.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT.
We are passionate about getting kids on bikes and into racing. If you would like to join DEVO but have financial barriers, we offer bursaries on a case by case basis. Questions? Email admin@escapevelocity.bc.ca
