Repairing bikes and changing lives

When Freewheels volunteers repair bikes for refugees and others, they can help transform lives.

Refugees rely on Freewheels bikes to get to work, school and ESL classes.
Veterans emerging from homelessness gain a way to work or appointments.
Fifth and sixth graders are rewarded for improving their grades.

For many of our neighbors, starting a new chapter in their lives in sprawling Houston, transportation is a major challenge. Walking, riding a bus or asking a friend for a ride are the less-than-optimal alternatives.

For a high school student, having a bike open possibilities to participate in sports and other after-school activities. A teenager with a bike helps ease the burden on busy parents juggling work and family.

These stories give purpose to Freewheels volunteers and bike donors.
