About Bikes for Kids Wisconsin

Known as Free Bikes 4 Kidz Madison from 2017 to 2023, Bikes for Kids Wisconsin is embarking on an enhanced mission of continuing with our impressive bike giveaway program, educational programming, and adding a Bike to Work program. To date, we've given away over 12,503 bikes to people in need. We collect unused bicycles and save them from the landfill by refurbishing them then distributing them back to the community through a robust network of nonprofits serving marginalized communities and through public schools. In fall of 2023, we held our pilot Bike Mechanics program with a local middle school. We'll continue to nurture future bike mechanics through this program that supports the trades by training future bike mechanics. We are building a community bike shop that gives away bikes annually, provides low cost repairs to help keep those bikes riding smoothly, and we sell high quality bikes to help fund our program. Our bike shop is open to the public and is located at 354 Coyier Lane in Madison, Wisconsin.
