Wheels is 100% volunteer run - 100% of your donation goes to program activities!  

We focus on working with neighborhood community centers and at city parks to make biking accessible to everyone and keep bikes repaired and safe - all for free!

Two young bike earners do 10 hrs. of volunteer Service to get a free bike, helmet & lock.

Small Budget – Big Impact – Lots of SMILES!

 “Thank you for the bike! I am going to ride it to the park, my friends’ houses and practically everywhere.” - Middle school bike recipient

Big Impact - Our 2025 accomplishments include:

- Record-Breaking Outreach: 1,140 total earner bikes and free repairs provided, a new record.

- Increased Access: Earner bikes up 25% from 2023 (497 bikes), and free community repairs up 91% from 2023 (643 repairs).

- Volunteer Activity: Bike earners volunteered over 5,000 hours in their neighborhoods, while our volunteers dedicated 5,609 hours to refurbishing and repairing bikes.

- Safety Essentials: We provided 374 new helmets and 386 locks to our bike earners.

- Community Support: We delivered 43 free repair events repairing 643 bikes in lower-income neighborhoods and provided 99 bikes to long-time community partners.

- Sponsored Refugee Assistance: We partnered with Open Doors for Refugees and the Stoughton Resettlement Project to provide bikes, helmets, and locks to help new neighbors acclimate.

- Environmental Impact: By refurbishing bikes instead of manufacturing new ones, we saved bikes from landfills and eliminated the equivalent CO2 of 13.5 gas-powered vehicles driven for a year. (EPA Estimate)
