About Jim Young
The Jim Young Super Tuesdays presented by BJC Webpage Crew track cycling series honors a man whose legacy can’t be captured in a few sentences. Jim touched the lives of many of the Lehigh Valley’s junior bicycle racers who started their track racing experiences as early as eight years old in developmental programs hosted by the VPCC. Jim Young was an Assistant Professor of Kinesiology at Penn State University Lehigh Valley, founder of the Penn State Cycling Team, director of the Future Champions Cycling Club, and one of the founders of the National Collegiate Cycling Association.
He led the Penn State Cycling Team for over 30 years and coached the team to more than a dozen national championships in the team competition and over 45 individual titles. He also personally coached five U.S. Olympians. He was an inspiration to an entire generation of collegiate cyclists and embodied the positive morals that created not only cycling champions, but caring members of society. Jim Young passed away in 2021 after a hard-fought battle with Parkinson’s disease.
