Our first bike giveaway was a huge success!
Last week, Ride Broomfield, hosted by Broomfield FISH, matched 20 people who needed bicycles with bikes collected and donated from the community. The restoration process took a bit of time, but it's a testament to our community's spirit that we managed to match the riders with their new bikes in just two days.
The bike giveaway program is a long-term free-lease program designed to provide sustainable transportation and recreation to those in need. If the recipients of the bikes are not using them, outgrow them, or don’t want them anymore, they are asked to return them to the program so the bike can be given to someone else who needs them.
The bikes are also registered in our database and then with https://bikeindex.org to ensure their safety. In the unfortunate event of theft, the Broomfield Police Department can swiftly return them if located, providing an added layer of security for our recipients.
The owners of Main Street Pedicabs also came out to check out Fish and the bike giveaway.
Consider donating below so we can continue to get bikes to people who need them. We have many more bikes to repair and more coming in every week, but we need parts, rubber, and tools. We are also looking for a space to store and work on bikes before winter hits; if you have some space or know someone who does, please get in touch.
