LABA is a development pipeline for cyclists to explore, practice, and advance in the sport. Our team is comprised of juniors, U23 men, and women who are passionate about riding and committed to developing their skill sets with aspirations of racing professionally. We participate in road, track and criterium racing. Our mission is to bridge the gap in underserved communities by providing access and opportunities for cyclists.

Los Angeles Bicycle Academy’s "Bicycle Safety, Bicycle Education and Safety Programs" is a comprehensive curriculum designed to teach students to travel safely on a bicycle. Our curriculum recognizes that classes will often be composed of students with varying skill levels. Through a combination of in-class instruction, skill-based activities, and on-the-bicycle training, students will learn the parts of the bicycle, proper helmet and bicycle fitting, traffic rules and regulations, potential hazards when operating a bicycle, and handling skills needed to effectively, appropriately, and safely cycle throughout their community and beyond.
