Transportation connects us to nearly everything we need to thrive in our community, and Upcycle Bikes connects people to transportation. Together, we’re mobilizing connection to independence, opportunity, and access through the power of a bike.

Join us at Pedals for Progress 2026 on Thursday, September 24 from 6-8:30 p.m. at the Goei Center to celebrate the impact of no-cost bikes in the lives of riders, connect with community, and mobilize impact by investing in our shared work.
