Mission: Upcycle Bikes refurbishes and donates adult bikes to provide an affordable and accessible transportation resource for financially constrained individuals. Our bikes enhance our riders’ individual independence and their connections to community resources. Upcycle Bikes receives hundreds of bike donations from across the community (almost 1,300 in 2024) to support our mission. Many of these bikes have ripped saddles that will not be comfortable, reliable, or safe. We also want a new rider to feel a sense of dignity and pride in their new bike.
