We’re a passionate group of people who love giving back. It’s our goal to help every child feel the joy and freedom of riding their first bike and in the last 7 years we’ve helped over 14,600 kids in the Detroit area get a bike and a new helmet.
Turn a Dusty Bike Into a Shiny Smile
Free Bikes 4 Kidz is a nonprofit organization geared toward helping all kids ride into a happier, healthier childhood by providing bikes to those most in need. In 2024 you helped us collect, refurbish and distribute over 2,200 bikes, along with new helmets, to under-resourced kids in our community. Thank you Detroit for helping us change the lives of so many local children!
Over 3,000 Bikes Collected – Let the Work Begin!
Collection day 2025 is in the rearview mirror and Detroit came up huge once again! Donors from across SE Michigan came to the 11 FB4K collection sites and the dropped off 1,471 bikes to add to the 736 that were already in the warehouse; add several hundred more donated by our local partners and various individuals in the following weeks and it brings the total number of bikes in our building to over 3,000. Now we need A LOT of help to clean and repair these two wheeled beauties – you can volunteer to help by clicking the volunteer button above, or by clicking here. We’ve got all the tools you need and no specific bike skills are necessary if you just want to clean bikes; but we love and need skilled mechanics to help us get to the finish line on December 6! So help us put a smile on child’s face before the holidays this year by volunteering for a 3-hour shift – we promise you’ll have a great experience and you might even want to come back for second helping!
