We give FREE BIKES
To individuals in difficult life transitions. We identify needs via referrals from non-profits and other community partners, including but not limited to human services, schools and colleges, religious institutions, and mentoring programs.
INDIVIDUALS
A caseworker is needed to request a free bike, please contact one of our social services partners for a referral or contact us at liaison@austinyellowbike.org.
CASEWORKERS
Please fill out a get a free bike form for your client. For bulk requests email: liaison@austinyellowbike.org and we will follow-up with you.
Please note that we are only able to receive a limited number of requests per month. If the submission form says: “Submissions for this form are now closed”, it means that we are not able to receive more requests at this time and you need to check the form next month.

Frequently Asked Questions :
I heard you give bikes to people in need. How do I get one?
Please contact one of our social services partners to make a referral for you.
If I don’t have a caseworker can I still receive a free bike?

I want to help with the ‘get a free bike’ program, but I don’t know how.
You can help by building bikes for this and other donation programs. No prior bicycle repair experience is necessary. Simply show up at an Open, Volunteer, or WTF (Women/Trans/Femme) Workshop (if applicable) and talk with a shop host to get started. Check our Calendar for dates and availability.
