Bike it Forward

Bike it Forward is dedicated to improving the lives of children by supplying bikes to those who need them the most.

Our team of passionate teens is driven by a love for both riding and giving back. Our mission is to ensure every child experiences the joys and freedom of biking, which fosters a happier and healthier childhood.

How it works

  • Community members sign up to donate bikes.

  • Volunteers pick up bikes from your home or an arranged location.

  • Volunteers clean and refurbish bikes.

  • We partner with local organizations and schools to distribute bikes.

  • Our program not only spreads joy by distributing bikes, but it promotes sustainability by recycling bike parts and extending the lives of used bikes.
