Realities For Children’s Bikes For Tykes program is one of our longest-running distribution programs, giving bicycles and new helmets to the children we serve, ages 2-17.

Each year, kind-hearted individuals, groups, and organizations donate new or gently used bicycles to our collection (although we will accept new bikes at any time during the year).  Bikes are repaired and safety-checked at our local bike shop partners (listed below).

Then on a happy day in December, the bikes are given to registered youth who are being served by one of our Partner Agencies. Every child is given a helmet to ensure safe riding. Bicycle mechanics are on-hand to adjust seat heights properly, ensure tires are inflated and assist with any other bicycle fixes.
