🔥 New Bike Day 🔥

Congratulations Pressley! Enjoy your new eBike from Aventon.

Pressley proudly served our armed forces and is going to use his new ride as a way to commute and to get gainful employment! We are so happy that Battles to Bikes along with Bike Lab Pittsburgh were able to help!

He was so grateful we maybe even shed a tear along side of him!

Thanks for your service Pressley! We are glad we were able to connect!

Due to the expected rain tomorrow morning (Sunday, August 16), we are saddened to postpone our annual fundraiser ride on the Armstrong Trails.

We have rescheduled for Sunday, September 27 at 9:00. Registration will still include lunch and a post-ride brew. Same place, same fun, same fellowship!

Thank you for your understanding. See you then! 🇺🇸

🔥New Bike Day🔥

Congratulations Derek on your new Aventon Pace 500.4!

Derek is a recipient of a new Bike from our in-house 501(c)(3)Battles to Bikes!

Derek found out about our organization and applied for a bicycle after meeting us at the Gear Up and Go bike building event at PPG Paints Arena sponsored by the Pittsburgh Penguins!

His children received bikes at the event and we finished off the process, providing Dad with a Bike!

Thank you, Derek for your service 🇺🇸

Drew and Derek hit it off, talkin’ shop!

If you like what you see, come ride with us Sunday in Kittanning and enter our fundraiser ride so we can keep doing what we’re doing!

🚲 Battles to Bikes Donation Bin Now Available! 🇺🇸

Today, we officially placed our first Battles to Bikes donation bin at The Bike Lab - Pittsburgh & Kittanning (Plum location) an easy way to support veterans while donating gently used clothing and shoes.

👕👟 How it works:
Community members donate clothing and shoes, and Battles to Bikes receives a portion of the proceeds based on the total pounds collected. Those funds go directly back into our mission to support veterans through bikes, programming, and continued outreach.

If you’re a business owner — or know a business that would like to support our mission — and would be willing to host a donation bin at your location, we’d love to connect with you.

👉 There is absolutely no cost to participate.
Just a simple, space-friendly way to give back and make a real impact in our veteran community.

📩 Message us directly to get involved or learn more.

Thank you for standing with us and supporting those who’ve served. 🇺🇸❤️

It is with heavy hearts that we share the loss of one of our Battles to Bikes recipients.

He was a veteran and a valued member of our community, and we are deeply saddened by this loss. While we may not know all the details, we do know that too many veterans are carrying battles that feel impossible to fight alone.

If you are struggling, please don’t isolate yourself. Reach out to a fellow veteran, a family member, a friend, or someone you trust. And if you don’t have someone you feel comfortable reaching out to, please know that you can always contact the Battles to Bikes board — one of our members will be more than willing to listen.

If you need immediate support, you can call or text 988, the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. Help is available 24/7, and you are never a burden for asking.

Please check on your people. 🤍

We were honored to partner with the Pittsburgh Warriors, and our hearts are with that entire family during this incredibly difficult time.

As we grieve this loss, our mission remains steadfast. Battles to Bikes will continue to show up, continue to serve, and continue to support veterans through movement, connection, and community — honoring those we’ve lost by carrying the mission forward.

— Battles to Bikes Board
