Bikes not Beef

Bikes Not Beef was first implemented in the Fall of 2019 with an aim to provide our youth with a bicycle program to address bicycle accessibility, education, safety, and engagement. Like you, we are advocates of the positive impact bicycles provide to the physical and mental wellbeing of our community, as well as the environment. With the Bikes Not Beef program we are able to provide every child in the program with bicycles, helmets, lights, locks, and education on bike maintenance, safety, and rules of the road.

Our Mission

 ALL FOR BIKES

All for Bikes is a community bicycle program for adults who are facing barriers and could benefit from having a bicycle. Many adults in our community need reliable transportation, yet do not have the financial means to buy a bike. That’s where we come in. We give away hundreds of free bikes to people experiencing housing issues, financial troubles, and transportation woes. People that need to get to their jobs, that need to get to facilities to accesss resources, and to just generally navigate our city. All for Bikes is just that, everyone should have a bike, if they need one.
