Why We Ride
Every registration helps Free Bikes 4 Kidz provide bicycles and helmets to children who otherwise may not have access to one.
A bicycle is more than transportation. It creates opportunities for exercise, independence, confidence, and connection.
Since 2009, Free Bikes 4 Kidz and its volunteers have provided more than 224,000 bicycles to children in need across the United States, including over 100,000 bikes in Minnesota.
When you ride, you help create more smiles, more opportunities, and more childhood memories.
