As the bicycle transportation hub for Wisconsin, we are building a an inclusive culture of biking by increasing access to this low-cost, human powered, green machine. We invite you to explore the different ways to donate, whether it’s one time or through recurring giving.
Biking is far more than just a recreational option. Few societal challenges today cannot be eased by more people biking like physical and mental health, environment deficit disorder, climate protection, cleaner environments, traffic congestion and parking alleviation, increased disposable income, community connections, and more.
If Bikes for Kids has inspired you, please consider donating to support our programs for children, teens, and adults. Donation options are below. Be a part of our mission of shifting how people view biking in Wisconsin!
Donate Bikes & Parts
We take old bikes, used parts…anything bike! Clear that old bike out of your shed, garage or back porch and bring it to us. Your refurbished bicycle will help another member of our community have access to transportation!
TO DONATE A BIKE: Visit us at 354 Coyier Lane during our open hours listed on the Contact Page.
We hold our annual Everything Bikes Fundraising Sale around Bike Week (May or June) and ask that you hold off on donating goods for the sale until May 1 or before May 20 due to limited space. Things people often donate are car racks, trainers, trailers, bikes, parts, and anything bike! Saturday, May 31, 2025 is the date of the next Everything Bikes Fundraising Sale!
