Gears & Cheers 2025

Gears & Cheers is an event just for kids, inspiring the next generation of riders to pedal with a purpose. This special event is designed for young cyclists of all skill levels—whether they’re in a stroller, just learning to ride or already speeding through the neighborhood! Kids will have the opportunity to participate in a safe, age-appropriate ride while fundraising for cancer research, just like the adult riders. 100% of every dollar raised will go directly to Pelotonia Kids and fund pediatric cancer research.

How it works:
✍️Register to Ride: Head to https://charity.pledgeit.org/GearsandCheers to register to ride by May 30! The $35 registration fee includes: t-shirt, swag bag, access to activities and snacks/beverages

💵Collect Pledges: Ask family and friends to pledge a certain amount for each lap ridden on event day or make a flat donation.

🚲Ride Laps: On the day of the event, kids will ride their bikes around a set track and challenge themselves to ride as many laps as possible!

💚Fundraise for Pelotonia Kids: 100% of funds raised will go to pediatric cancer research at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.

Gears & Cheers is hosted by Gears & Beers, a local peloton of friends who ride in Pelotonia each year to raise money for cancer research. We've ridden for the last 10 years in honor of those we've lost to cancer and in recognition of the ongoing impact it continues to have on all of our lives. We realized that many of us know kiddos who love riding their bikes, and so we thought why not get them involved in the community and fundraising with their own Pelotonia experience? We are so excited to expand our efforts with Gears & Cheers this year!
