It’s that time of year again where we collaborate with a group of Bike Distribution Partners who help us find homes for roughly 2,000 bicycles we have collected, refurbished, and fully tuned up through the fall and winter months. In 2023, we distributed 2,051 bicycles and hit an astounding milestone of 10,000 bikes distributed through November 2023!

These 36 Distribution Partners are other 501c3 organizations and public schools—they determine who our recipients are each year. This system works well because they know who is experiencing the most need. They also collect numerous data points for us on who is receiving bikes each year.

We could not do this work without their help! To date, Bikes for Kids has supported 173 other nonprofit organizations and schools in Dane County and southern Wisconsin. So when you help us, you’re helping all of these organizations too.

Congratulations and THANK YOU to each of your for your partnership! We could not do this work without your collaboration. 

Bike Giveaway dates are: 4/27; 5/4. Please note, Bike Giveaway events are not open to the public because all recipients have been pre-selected to ensure that bikes are fully serviced for them. 

It requires 40 volunteers (120 total) at each giveaway event and translators are always in need. Please save a date, find a group of friends or colleagues, or a Spanish club that can volunteer at these amazing events!
