Since 1967, the Minnesota Ironman Bike Ride has challenged bicyclists around the upper Midwest yearly. Today, Free Bikes 4 Kidz (FB4K’z), the event’s benefactors, keeps everything cyclists love about Minnesota’s longest-running bike ride, fun. This year they are giving it a new name, a new look, and another new location and routes to the ride. The new name, Freebike, represents the future of the ride and your support of Free Bikes 4 Kidz MN (FB4K’z).

The ride will start this year at the Minnesota Twins Stadium (Target Field) and finish at Fulton Brewery in Minneapolis. Why the big change to the ride route?
Jay, from FB4K’z, tells us at HaveFunBiking the reasons. “First, the emergence of two great new event partners – The Minnesota Twins Foundation and Fulton Brewing. Second, and perhaps more importantly, riders will enjoy smoother pavement, wider shoulders, and better bike infrastructure to make their time on the bike as enjoyable as possible. Plus, our post-ride block party at the Fulton Taproom means riders will have a few extra hours. Rather than in past years, the rush to finish up the ride and make it back in time to celebrate before the party wraps up.”
Three routes to test yourself and help the kids
On this year’s ride, choose from three epic routes (25, 50, and 100 miles), while supporting the mission of Free Bikes 4 Kidz MN.
Come out and join a community of riders, meet new friends to ride with, and stay for the block party at the end. Your registration fee will go to a great cause: providing free bikes for kids in need. You don’t want to miss it!

Donate to Free Bikes 4 Kidz MN so more children can ride
It only takes $35 to refurbish a bike and your donation, in any amount, helps bring free bikes to needy kids. In 2023, with the help of all the fabulous FB4K’z volunteers, over 90,000 bikes given away since 2008.
