Bayview Youth Earn 31 Bikes
Bayview youth sign up to do 10+ hours of volunteer work around the Bayview community to earn bikes. We provided 31 bikes, new helmets and locks to excited kids on May 15th.

16 youth donated bikes back to Wheels that they outgrew so we could refurbish them anew and provide them to other bike earners.

So much fun to see happy bike riders. Special thanks to Chong at Bayview for coordinating the bike applications and volunteer work of the kids!

New Bike Earners - Volunteers in the Community

In 2025 we provided 497 refurbished bikes to people who did 10 or more hours of volunteer service in our communities! Types of volunteer service included Food Pantries, Tutoring, Gardening or Yard Work, Social Justice/Community Activism.

Wheels was founded in 1992, to refurbish used bikes to keep them out of landfills and encourage giving back to the community. We provide these bikes to people who do 10 or more hours of volunteer service.

Below are a few or our recent bike earners. Operation Fresh Start, family of bike earners, Open Doors for Refugees.

We have been partnering with Neighborhood Police Officer Andre Lewis and Ms. Laura at the Allied Learning Center to provide bikes to kids the past few years. Wednesday’s event was filled with excitement, enthusiasm and a little trepidation. 3 of our 4 earners did not know how to ride a bike but we try not to offer training wheels. Nivali was super helpful, both as a native Spanish speaker and also as a Bike Fed representative who loves teaching kids how to ride without training wheels. Allied staff and a handful of neighborhood officers were also there to help with adjusting helmets and providing encouragement and support. Always a fun and meaningful event. Thanks everyone! 🚴‍♀️
