We hit a new milestone—2,500 bikes distributed in one year!

We just reached a new milestone in 2024—we have now distributed 2,500 bicycles this year alone. That puts our total since 2017 to 12,500 bicycles distributed to financially challenged people in the state of Wisconsin.💥

We smashed our previous highest total of 2,126. How did we do it? Watch the video for the details or read the highlights below: 

• Increased demand for services. Transportation barriers prevent people from accessing school, work (incomes), food, health care, and a long list of other basic needs. 

• An extended bike riding season due to warmer weather.

• Increased awareness about our services and efforts to see that everyone has access to low-cost, bicycle-based transportation.

• Sending bikes to Ghana. 

From all of us here at Bikes for Kids Wisconsin, we’d like to extend a hearty thank you to all of our volunteers and donors who have helped us make this work possible!
