Bikes for Kids

Changing lives one bike at a time!

How to Request a Bike

Please remember we are a needs based organization giving away bikes to boys and girls, and some adults, who would otherwise not have the means of owning a bike.

To make a request, complete the Bikes Request Form. Requests will be handled in the order they are received. When a bicycle that fits your specifications is available, we will contact you and arrangements can be made to pick it up at The Bikes for Kids Wheelhouse.

It is important to note that a new helmet is provided with every bike leaving our Wheelhouse.

If you are requesting a large amount of bicycles, please be specific including the organization you represent and the reason for the large request.

Bikes for Kids has supplied bikes internationally through other groups, but is not in the position to help with shipping.

If you have any questions, please call The Wheelhouse at 860-388-BIKE (2453) to speak with a volunteer.
