Through the grant, the middle school has obtained a fleet of Specialized bikes, a starter maintenance kit, and helmets. The Specialized Foundation also provided its curriculum and held a training session to help the school—which is dedicated to serving diverse learners, including those with dyslexia and ADHD—integrate the sport into its athletics program.
Denver Academy also now offers mountain biking to its high school students. This fall, the team competed in the Colorado High School League.
