IMPACT
By the time a refurbished bicycle leaves Upcycle Bikes’ space for a new life, it’s more than a bike.
It’s an invaluable tool that enables independence, opportunity, and connection; a bike provides access. Bikes offer affordable transportation when other options are limiting, empowering individuals who are navigating complex barriers to build stability.
“Having a bike has allowed me to meet other people, teach others how to ride bikes, allow me to continue coming to AYA and receive other resources, and have transportation for employment.”

“For the refugees settling in our community, transportation is the number one requested component to independence. Upcycle Bikes’ bike donations allow refugees to go to work, school, tutoring classes, and other activities . . . We are so thankful to Upcycle Bikes for providing quality, safe bikes for our clients!”
