Ghisallo Cycling Initiative is an Austin- and San Antonio-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to bicycle education and encouragement. Founded in 2011, it helps people of all ages and abilities become comfortable, confident lifelong riders and use bicycles to explore, navigate, and access their communities. Its programs include Cycle Academy for youth, City Cyclist for adults, and Golden Rollers for older adults and adaptive riders.

The organization provides after-school Bike Clubs, learn-to-ride programs, high-volume safety clinics, and classes designed to build practical cycling skills. Ghisallo also hosts exploratory neighborhood rides and outings focused on nature, wildlife, and community engagement, alongside events in Austin and San Antonio. Through its work, the initiative aims to make bicycling welcoming and useful for transportation, exploration, and connection.

Community members can participate in programs and rides, volunteer, support the organization, or donate. Ghisallo’s approach centers on widening access to the benefits of biking and creating opportunities for more people to travel and engage with their surroundings by bicycle
