Transportation is being provided for those kids so they can receive education. The programs have been established to promote deaf children's opportunities to learn and interact during evenings and weekends without parents.

Momentum Cycling Team, a professional cycling team based in Los Angeles, will be riding with the cyclists. The members of the Momentum Cycling Team are three 2008 Olympians, Jennie Reed, Josiah Ng and Adam Duvendeck. Travis Smith of Canada is also a member of the team.
