Free Bike Repairs at Bayview Community Center

Wheels for Winners volunteer mechanics making sure bikes are inspected, adjusted, repaired and safe to ride! A typical bike repair event lasts 2-3 hours.

Wheels for Winners community-based repair events started in 2016

  • A survey identified a major barrier to cycling is people have a bike needing repair and they don’t know where to get it fixed, how to fix it, or cannot afford to get it fixed. This causes many children and adults to ride unsafe bikes or give up on bike riding.

  • As a solution, Wheels provides free, community-based repair events in spring, summer and fall. In 2023 we did 30 events fixing hundreds of bikes. We inspect and repair bikes for free, so they are rideable and safe!

Wheels partners with Dream Bikes, Wisconsin Bike Federation, Madison CycleWorks, Budget Bicycle shop and others on repair events throughout Dane County.  The number of events and bicycles repaired have increased dramatically since starting in 2016.
