Freewheels is always seeking more bikes for our volunteers to repair and create safe and reliable transportation for a refugee, veteran emerging from homelessness or young person from a low-income family.

Our riders prefer mountain bikes and hybrids

Our greatest need is for adult mountain bikes and hybrids with 26-inch and 700c wheels. We also need youth bikes with 24-inch wheels and children’s bikes with 20-inch wheels. Our customers rarely ask for road bikes or beach cruisers.

We do not accept used helmets, children’s bikes with 16-inch wheels (or smaller), scooters or tag-alongs.

If it’s not economic for Freewheels to repair a donated used bike, we often reclaim parts and components that can be used on other bikes. We have partnerships with people who will take bikes we don’t plan to repair and deliver them to organizations in Mexico.

When we receive a road bike, we may try to sell it and and use the proceeds to pay for parts, supplies, safety equipment and rent.
