Trips for Kids Bay Area

Trips for Kids Bay Area Helping youth shift gears since 1988. Our shared mission is to provide meaningful cycling programs that inspire children to achieve their highest potential.

Trips for Kids Bay Area is a registered chapter of the national Trips for Kids® 501(c)3 nonprofit based in San Rafael, California. Founded in 1988 and now operating in over 80 locations throughout the United States, Canada, Israel and Sierra Leone, TFK has opened the world of cycling to over 175,000 at-risk youth. All TFK chapters are managed and operated independently at the local level. We curre

ntly offer the Rides and Earn-A-Bike Programs, which aim to build self-esteem, teach about healthy lifestyles and instill environmental values. We also own and operate 'The Re-Cyclery Bike Shop' that sells affordably-priced, repurposed bikes, parts, accessories and clothing to the general public. You can purchase some items through our Facebook's E-bay Store.

A new week means new opportunities to learn, grow, and explore. Whether it’s a first ride, a new trail, or a skill mastered along the way, every step forward matters.

We’re excited for another week of helping Bay Area youth build confidence, friendships, and lifelong memories through cycling.
Let’s keep the wheels turning!

A huge thank you to PUBLIC Bikes for their generous donation of more than 30 bicycles to Trips for Kids Bay Area!

Because of this incredible support, more young riders will have access to safe, reliable bikes and the opportunity to experience the confidence, freedom, and joy that cycling can bring. These bikes will help us get more kids on the trail, learning new skills, building friendships, and creating lasting memories.

Every trail starts with a single pedal stroke. For many of the youth we serve, that first ride becomes the beginning of something much bigger. Confidence, independence, new friendships, and a lifelong love of the outdoors.

The journey isn’t always easy. There are hills to climb and challenges to overcome. But that’s where growth happens.

Here’s to keeping the wheels turning and the adventure going.

All geared up with helmets, reflective jackets, and bikes ready to hit the trail. But they are more than just equipment, these are tools for confidence, adventure, friendship, and growth.

Moments like this are made possible by the generosity of our donors, volunteers, partners, and supporters who believe every child deserves the opportunity to ride, explore, and thrive.

Because of your support, these young riders aren’t just getting bikes. They’re gaining experiences, skills, and memories that can last a lifetime.

Thank you for helping us keep the wheels turning and creating opportunities for youth across the Bay Area.
