Get to Know Cycling On Purpose

Our Organization

Cycling On Purpose is raising awareness surrounding the youth mental health crisis. Travis, the founder of Cycling On Purpose, grew up struggling with undiagnosed ADHD and low self-confidence.

In 2021, the surgeon general's advisory, "protecting youth mental health", laid out specific steps to combat those same issues for youth today.

Travis is determined to follow the advice of the surgeon general to connect individuals, families, communities, environments, and societies by cycling from WA state to Indianapolis.

We are dedicated to making a difference through our nonprofit, Cycling On Purpose. We strive to raise awareness about the mental health challenges specific to today's youth and to help them find purpose in their lives.

We aim to drive community change, particularly in public schools, by advocating for better mental health policies and responsible device usage. Our fundraising efforts include organizing cycling events that bring communities together.

Join us in our journey to foster healthier, more purposeful lives for young people.

Inspired by my Dad, I’ve had a lifelong love of cycling, both on the road and the trails. Over the years, staying active and prioritizing time on my bike have played a significant role in managing stress and anxiety.

As a brand new father to my daughter Charli, born in September 2024, it is more important than ever to understand youth mental health struggles and provide guidance and support for her to navigate these life challenges.

With a growing family and demanding career, finding the right balance has been difficult, but I’m committed to leading by example and instilling the values of prioritizing an active lifestyle.

Whether on the bike, on your feet, moving weights, or doing yoga, however you can get it in, I truly believe that staying active is the most unbelievable way to improve our mental health and overall wellness. It’s an honor to join the Cycling On Purpose team.
