We provide several ways for people to get bikes for free! Recyclery volunteers help prepare Freecyclery bikes for donation during Volunteer Hours. You can help provide new locks and helmets to Freecyclery recipients by donating here. $25 provides 1 lock/helmet set.
Our dedicated Freecyclery Partners refer individuals to us to receive a free bicycle:
Heartland Alliance Marjorie Kovler Center
Housing Opportunities for Women
Impact Behavioral Health Partners
Northside Housing & Support Services
Refugee Community Connection
*Note*As an alternative to referral from a partner organization, we offer opportunities for adults and youth to earn a Freecyclery bike through our Earn-a-Bike Fellowship programs.
“Lack of transportation is a major barrier in both treatment and community integration of individuals with psychiatric disabilities. For many, their bike is their most valuable possession, serving as reliable transportation to work, school, or necessary medical appointments.”

Thresholds
“I work but did not have enough money to pay for my rent, groceries, and other items I need plus bus fare. Having a bike made it easier to make my money last and not worry about calling off work.”
