NO-COST BIKES

We provide refurbished adult bikes at no cost to individuals with financial constraints. Our bike recipients use their rides as daily transportation to work, school, appointments, and resources; to exercise; and as recreation.

Each bike is carefully evaluated, cleaned, upgraded, and tested to ensure quality and functionality before it leaves the shop, and comes with a helmet, lock, light, and education booklet to keep riders pedaling safely.

Distribution Partners

Community organizations know the needs of the people they serve, and have the relationships to connect resources with those who will benefit from them. Upcycle Bikes is proud to work with a network of over 50 (and growing) social impact organizations to address transportation barriers by providing no-cost bikes through distribution partners to individuals who need them.

  • CURRENT DISTRIBUTION PARTNERS

    Know a community member who needs a bike? Our distribution partners can request bikes and submit rider demographic information through two easy forms.

    Request a Bike

As a small organization, Upcycle Bikes does not have the capacity to provide bikes directly to individuals at this time. We ask that individuals served by the distribution partners listed above reach out to their contact or case manager at the organization to discuss their transportation needs.
