Volunteer: Donate your used bikeYour unused bicycles hold the key to freedom for a refugee, veteran or young person who needs a way to work or school. Donate your unused bike to Freewheels and our volunteers will clean and repair it and provide a way for people to get to work or school. Our greatest need is for adult mountain bikes and hybrids with 26-inch and 700c wheels. We also need youth bikes with 24-inch wheels. Our refugee and veteran customers rarely ask for road bikes or beach cruisers. We do not accept used helmets, children’s bikes, scooters or tag-alongs. If it’s not economic for Freewheels to repair a donated used bike, we often reclaim parts and components that can be used on other bikes. We have partnerships with people who will take bikes we don’t plan to repair and deliver them to organizations in Mexico. When we receive a road bike, we may try to sell it and and use the proceeds to pay for parts, supplies, safety equipment and rent. Freewheels accepts bike donations on Friday and Saturday mornings.
