At Country Cycle we’ve always believed the bicycle can be more than transportation, fitness, or sport.
It can be mentorship.
It can be confidence.
It can be belonging.
And in a world increasingly lived through screens, it can be a way to reconnect kids to the real world around them.
That belief is what led us to create Kanta.
Kanta was built around a simple mission: create quality bikes that are accessible, durable, and meant to help people flourish through movement and adventure. The name comes from the Spanish word canta — “to sing.” To us, the bicycle helps people find their voice.
But Kanta is also tied to something bigger than bikes.
10% of every Kanta bike sale goes directly back into youth programming and community outreach. Those funds help us build relationships with Indigenous communities through the bicycle — not through one-time appearances, but through consistent presence and trust-building over time.
Sometimes that means regular bike rides with youth in communities like Dakota Plains. Sometimes it means flying into remote northern communities to put on bicycle repair and safety workshops. Sometimes it means organizing our annual Indigenous youth bike race and creating opportunities for kids to experience challenge, encouragement, and community through movement.
More than ever, kids need opportunities to move their bodies, explore the outdoors, solve problems with their hands, and feel connected to something real. The bicycle naturally pulls people into the world around them — onto trails, into conversations, through communities, and back into relationship with the land and with each other.
That’s the deeper story behind Kanta.
