Local Impact for Autism and disABILITY Partners
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and autism are both general terms for a group of complex disorders of brain development. These disorders are characterized by difficulties in:
- Social interaction
- Verbal and nonverbal communication
- Repetitive behaviors.
ASD can be associated with intellectual disability, difficulties in motor coordination and attention, and physical health issues. The most obvious signs of autism and symptoms of autism tend to emerge between 2 and 3 years of age.
Autism statistics from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identify around 1 in 31 American children as on the autism spectrum, and affects all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups.

Who Are We
Bike to the Beach is a community of people who combine fun and endurance challenges to inspire the larger community to raise funds and awareness for autism. Our signature events are charity bike rides from major cities to vacation beaches.
Our bike rides and community programs promote an active, socially, and environmentally-conscious community committed to achieving healthier lifestyles and finding solutions for the millions affected by autism and disabilities.
Bike to the Beach is unique in that we are a community, not an event. Our media footprint, community involvement, and charity impact stretch far beyond the day of the event. We do not shy away from personal challenges and we constantly seek out new ways to help our communities.
Our Impact is both National and Local. We stay true to our grassroots beginnings with active community leaders in each market and local non-profit partners as beneficiaries. We may be a national brand, but our business is inspiring local communities.
In each market, Bike to the Beach partners with autism charities that support these local communities. Our local partnership program seeks to create successful long-term relationships that make our events a significant and sustainable fundraising resource for local partner organizations.
In the past three years, Bike to the Beach has donated more than $1,250,000 dollars to local organizations.
