Cyclist Development
Our aim is to empower young Tanzanian cyclists by fostering their growth and development within the sport, while preparing them for life itself.
Red Knot’s current support of cycling extends to two local teams: Arusha Shifters and Red Knot Tanzania.
We are working towards developing a more comprehensive program which will start children at younger ages.
The Shifters team will serve as an intermediary, nurturing emerging talents and acting as a feeder team to the Red Knot squad. This approach will ensure a seamless progression for cyclists aiming to make their mark on the national and international stage.
We are presently directing special attention towards developing female riders to compete on the national level.
Leading the charge in coaching and mentoring is Richard Laizer, a former professional cyclist with extensive experience racing in South Africa and Europe.
Richard’s dedication and expertise are instrumental in shaping the future of cycling in Arusha and Tanzania.
