Bikes To Schools Program

Local elementary school children in need of a bike are asked to write an essay on why they want a bike. From all of the entries a group of children are selected to receive bikes. We then meet with the kids and fit them to bikes that have repaired during our Volunteer Shops.  In conjunction with our Bikes to Schools program, we partner with the Austin Cycling Association (ACA) to put on Bicycle Safety Rodeos at schools that receive bike donations. These bike safety classes effectively teach children the basics of bike safety.
