How you help We are grateful for the incredible support of over 6,900 individuals who volunteered their time over the last four years to help us run over 11,600 bikes through our process and prepare them to be given to kids in our community.
About us Free Bikes 4 Kidz Detroit is the eighth of seventeen FB4K affiliates across the U.S. 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 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!
