FB4K DETROIT

Every year 25 million bikes are sold in the US. 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. Endless supply = Sustainability. We're a green organization and we capitalize on the availability of these outgrown bikes and we operate seasonally in a donated space courtesy of the Piston Group to keep our overhead down. Partnering with the Home Depot, we make use of our shared mission and their geographically dispersed facilities to host a one-day regional bike collection event in the early fall. The public donates gently used bikes, then we organize hundreds of volunteers over a couple of months to clean and refurbish them, and then we give them away to kids in need. It's easy to see why we've been able to provide thousands of bikes to kids over the last few years!... 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..
