WHO WE ARE

Bicycle Industry Employers Association (BIEA) 501(c)3 was founded by longtime industry professionals who have volunteered their time and, share a common belief that our future success will require pipeline of talented students and professionals that will help our industry thrive.

As individuals who are passionate about bikes, we understand that our industry currently faces significant challenges. Our customer base is a representation of our workforce and is one of the least diverse in the nation, there are no collegiate-level programs in the U.S. for students to choose a career in the bicycle industry, and the options for achieving a career in the industry are otherwise limited.

OUR MISSION IS SIMPLE

We work to connect the needs of bicycle industry employers with regionally-accredited colleges to develop smart, cost-effective programs for both schools and students.

All BIEA regionally-accredited programs will create a direct path to begin or advance a career in the bicycle industry.
