Come see us this Sunday, July 5th at Luce Line Brewing for our bike collection event at Ride Hiawatha! We'll be there from 7am to 11am and are hoping to collect another truckload of bikes as we get ready for our 2026 season.

Join us this coming Tuesday at Back Channel Brewing from 4-8pm to help us raise money for FB4KMN and FB4K. Back Channel is donating a portion of their sales that day to our organizations, we're raffling off a Strider, and Christian's busting out the art skills!

Optimism isn’t a personality trait, it’s a process. It requires effort and maintenance. Sometimes, that process seems futile or impossible to perfect, affecting your ability to hope for something better.

Hope comes in a lot of forms, though. For us, it came in the form of our friends at Apple Autos offering to lend us a truck to help with bike collection last fall, and later offering to let us keep it all season for whatever we needed. They wrapped it for us, handling the design work as well. When we saw “This truck delivers hope” on the side, we answered with a “Heck yeah it does” and got to work. We were able to adapt our model, delivering bikes to our distribution partners, new and old alike, and holding giveaway events in their communities instead of a single giveaway day at our warehouse.

That little tweak to how we do things put bikes within a shorter reach of the people who needed them. No trip to our warehouse for hundreds of working families. No signing their kids up for giveaway day, making promises, and having to break them because you got called into work, the car died, or someone got sick. Kids, bikes, happiness. That’s the hope we were able to deliver this season. It’s a narrow lane, but we gave everything we could to fill it.

When we say “we”, we don’t mean just our staff or our board. What we mean when we say “we” is the thousands of Minnesotan volunteers who gave their time and talents to get the bikes ready and to help us put kids on them. Those volunteers are the reason we exist. They don’t just deliver hope, they’re hope personified.

Go deliver the hope you can, whether it’s small or large, whether or not you think it’ll make a difference given the challenges you’re up against. A few thousand committed Minnesotans can do anything they put their minds to.

Today FB4KMN participated in RBC’s non-profit fair. Hundreds of employees walked thru and learned about each organization including FB4KMN!

Thank you to RBC for being one of our generous partners in fulfilling our mission to get more kids on bikes.

We believe a bike can change a life and give a child the opportunity to find freedom, independence, connect with the outdoors, and move their bodies!

RBC matches employee contributions to our organization. Thank you for supporting the community you work in.

We arrived at another Elementary school to deliver bikes into the communities we serve.

We changed things up this year, bringing more bikes to our recipients with smaller give-aways at their schools.

*Same volunteer magic
*Same refurbished bikes
*Same grateful families
*Same community effort
*More priceless smiles all around

We could not continue our mission to get more kids on bikes without generous partners, individual donors, countless hours of volunteer work, a dedicated staff, and your support!

Giveaway Season has begun! 🎉

FB4KMN volunteers and staff have been hard at work the last few months fixing up thousands of donated bikes. And now the time has come to start getting those bikes to their new homes!

Thanks to the amazing folks we are able to deliver bikes directly into our recipient’s communities this season. We are excited to now have several Giveaway Days instead of just one!

Our first drop off this week went to some awesome kids at Whittier Elementary School. We had our staff and volunteers on hand to help deliver bikes and make adjustments to their fleet to ensure they are rolling smoothly, using tools kindly donated by !

Stay tuned for more Giveaway Day event recaps in the next few weeks! In the meantime, we are still welcoming volunteer mechanics to join us at our warehouse in finishing the last of the wrenching for the season 🛠️
