摘要

Bicycling contributes to individual health and mobility while fostering community well-being, yet programmatic efforts to enhance bicycling are primarily grassroots and minimally funded. Outride, a non-profit organization that supports community bicycle programs across the United States, funds a wide range of grassroots endeavors such as bicycle education programs, middle and high school mountain bike teams, and infrastructure projects, including trails (mostly mountain biking) and pump tracks. This study investigated Outride's ability to Advance community well-being through cycling using the Benefits-Based Management (BBM) model as a programmatic organizing framework and VanderWeele’s six-domain community well-being (CWB) model to investigate well-being. An interpretative phenomenological approach was used, and data were collected via semi-structured interviews with 66 Outride-funded organizations. Program participants experienced multiple benefits, such as improved physical health, enhanced mental well-being through skill development, and strengthened social connections through mentor–mentee relationships. These individual benefits created spillover effects that enhanced broader community well-being through increased community engagement, stronger social networks, and improved recreational access.
