Bayview Youth Earn 31 Bikes

Bayview youth sign up to do 10+ hours of volunteer work around the Bayview community to earn bikes. We provided 31 bikes, new helmets and locks to excited kids on May 15th.

16 youth donated bikes back to Wheels that they outgrew so we could refurbish them anew and provide them to other bike earners.

So much fun to see happy bike riders. Special thanks to Chong at Bayview for coordinating the bike applications and volunteer work of the kids!
