A Foundation in Cycling
Pedals & Pages was founded by a competitive road cyclist in the United States with Romanian heritage. Through cycling, the founder experienced firsthand how mobility can shape discipline, opportunity, and access.
Road racing demands consistency, endurance, and self-reliance. These same qualities shape the way Pedals & Pages approaches its work: direct, persistent, and focused on results.
A Connection to Romania
At the same time, ongoing connections with Romanian students revealed how distance, limited resources, and language barriers restrict educational opportunity. Many students in rural and underserved areas lack basic tools for learning—including reliable transportation to reach school.
From Experience to Action
Pedals & Pages grew from these experiences—combining cycling, education, and community service into a mission focused on practical support rather than abstract solutions.
The founder had already been providing online English education to Romanian youth before the organization was formally established. That direct experience with students' needs and potential became the foundation for everything Pedals & Pages does.
Youth-Led, Community-Supported
The organization is youth-led, community-supported, and grounded in real experience. Leadership is rooted in church-based and community-based service, with a commitment to responsible stewardship and genuine impact.
