ABOUT SHARK TOOTH CYCLING
We are a not-for-profit foundation focused on enabling and empowering people to get outdoors — with the bike as our true north. Similar to other cycling based foundations such as Team Type 1, we sponsor development teams, support athletes of all types, and participate in races, fondos and events around the country to promote awareness and raise funds for our cause.
Shark Tooth Cycling takes its name from the Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease (CMT), a hereditary motor and sensory disease of the peripheral nervous system, characterized by progressive loss of muscle tissue and touch sensation across various parts of the body.
Our founder was diagnosed with CMT as a young child and has devoted his life to cycling because it gave him the mobility and inspiration to live a normal life. Everyone on our team is a lifelong cyclist, passionate about giving back to young people and anyone dealing with disorders that affect their ability to play outdoors.
Get Involved
Join us in our mission of enabling young people, especially those affected by Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease (CMT), to get outdoors and get involved in what we consider the greatest lifetime sport: riding bikes.
Whether you want to join us in a ride, make a donation, ride in a Shark Tooth jersey in your home town, or work with us to grow our mission, we would love to hear from you.
Take a look at our Events page for where to find us in real life out on the streets, trails, and gravel roads, follow us on Instagram, and send us an email for more information. If we see a donation come through from you, we will definitely reach out to see how we can work together.
Thank you for following this journey of empowerment.
