FreeWheels is a ReCyclery program aimed at making bike ownership accessible to all. Our partner organizations play a key role in helping us identify folks within our community who are experiencing financial barriers to owning a bicycle.
Once an advocate or community partner reaches out to us with the below criteria, our mechanics work to match the request with an appropriate bike. Refurbishing a bike can take up to two weeks (or longer in our busy, summer season), so please take that into consideration for the client's needs.
Privacy:
We understand the importance of privacy in your work and partnering agencies. We can either work directly (and discreetly) with you as a client advocate, or we can make contact with the client themselves once you have assisted us in determining their needs. We do ask that the client is available at the time of pick up so we can work with them on fine-tuning the bike set up, sizing, and go over any new concepts they might not be familiar with (shifting, braking, etc), but can also make arrangements to have the bike dropped off to your location.
We look forward to working with you, your team, and of course, your clients! Should you have any additional questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us directly at
