Bike Club

Building confident cyclists and great Tulsans through community engagement. Our kid-centered program started with a few like-minded people. Mike."
People who were passionate and understood the power of bicycles. In 2008, Jason Whorton began building and giving kids free bikes through his 501(c)3 non-profit Humble Sons Bike Company. Whorton's initial efforts consisted of giving away 22 bikes. He has since overseen the distribution of over 17,000 bicycles. His program was growing at an exponential rate. Whorton's knack for getting things done soon outgrew his charity's primary mission — he began looking for what was next. Mike Wozniak started a bicycle-themed bar in 2006 with his best friend after changing his life by riding a bike all over Oklahoma. Wozniak saw the transformative power of a bicycle first hand and wanted to share this feeling of health and community. He wanted to save the world with a bike but had no idea where to begin. Wozniak joined the Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) through the Indian Nations Council of Governments (INCOG) to see how he could help get more people on bikes. It was at a BPAC meeting where Wozniak met Gary Percefull, a board member of Tulsa Public Schools. Wozniak told Percefull about his ideas to change the world by getting people on bikes. Percefull replied, "I don't know about the world, but I have some school kids who sure could use you." Wozniak was later given Whorton's information. "I was in after the first phone call," said Whorton. Bike Club was introduced at Emerson Elementary in the 2014-15 school year. Bike Club immediately became a part of Emerson's culture. The program serves multiple roles for participating children. The volunteers encourage engagement, leadership, good citizenship and participate as mentors to many of the children as well. In fact, several children who have gone on to middle school have come back to Emerson to see "Mr. "I've just seen positive changes," said Emerson Elementary Principal Tammie States. "They have taken more of a leadership role. Not only in Bike Club but in their classrooms. They feel good about themselves because they are a part of something that is unique." As of 2023, Bike Club is operating its after-school program in 33 Tulsa Public Schools with no plans of slowing down.

We had a wonderful time with ultracyclist Meaghan Hackinen and we think everyone there truly felt honored to be able to spend a few hours with such an accomplished cyclist. Meaghan was first female in the 2026 Tour Divide and set the Fastest Known Time in the process. Those are just a couple of her accolades, and she’s already on to her next adventures. You can learn more about her at www.meaghanhackinen.com and if you’d like to make a contribution to her adventures, we’ve posted a link to her “Buy me a Coffee” page in the comments. Thanks to Tulsa Bicycle Club for setting up the visit and City Cycles for the support!

It’s Bike Club Rally week!!!
This Wednesday, May 13th, over 500 Bike Club students will ride their bikes from Hardesty National BMX stadium in downtown Tulsa to Gathering Place using city streets and the River Parks east bank trail. If you want to cheer on these young riders they’ll be rolling westbound on Archer then southbound on Denver just after 11:00am! Expect some delays during this timeframe as intersections are temporarily blocked for safe passage of the riders, but our friends at Tulsa Police Department do an incredible job of keeping things flowing!
