Steve Tilford Foundation

The Steve Tilford Foundation was created to honor the life and legacy of cyclist Steve Tilford.

We exist to pay Steve’s passion for cycling forward.

"I just like riding my bike. I like riding it with friends, meeting other riders, or just alone, checking out the surroundings. There is no better speed to absorb your surroundings than on a bicycle."

-Steve Tilford
