Do you have a bike or two taking up space and collecting dust? If so, consider donating them to Free Bikes for Kids (FB4K) to help them put smiles on kids’ faces. No bikes, no problem…if your basement, garage, or storage space has already been cleaned out, they still need help. FB4K’s also needs volunteers to help clean or do light repair work to get them ready for kids to ride.

About FB4K
Free Bikes 4 Kidz is a non-profit organization geared toward helping all kids ride into a happier, healthier childhood by providing bikes to those most in need. The public donates gently used bikes. Then, they organize thousands of volunteers to clean and refurbish them before they give them away to kids in need. So really, FB4K helps kids smile.
In 2008 they gave away 300 bikes. Last year it was 5,000 bikes. And this year – who knows? Over 30,000 bikes have rolled through their giveaways in the last eight years. What does FB4K have to say about that? They claim they are not done yet. Their future sights are set on other locations throughout the U.S. and the world.
Every year 25 million bikes are sold in the U.S. One-third of those bikes are 20” wheel-size or smaller. Since kids grow like weeds, over 8 million bikes are virtually outgrown each year, giving them an endless supply while making our environment more sustainable.
Through the generous help of key partners like Allina Health, QBP, Penn Cycle, Park Tool, Nice Ride MN, and the Mall of America, FB4K has gone far. But they still need your support in building the foundation and helping every kid ride into a more memorable childhood.
