Bicycles have always been an opportunity towards freedom, from being able to pedal away from home until someone called us for dinner, to riding to classes instead of taking the bus or walking, and getting to work on nice days to improve our health and mood.

A simple, two-wheeled vehicle has been with many of us as a reliable tool as we’ve transitioned from one stage of life to another and has connected us to opportunities.

Yet, for many in our community these options are an impossibility, and opportunities shrink in relation to the amount of time and money spent trying to get to where needed. Jobs can’t be held, mortgages or rent can’t be paid, medical appointments can’t be made, and overall well-being declines and our community suffers.

Your commitment to our community’s well-being allows us to offer affordable ebike access, maintain and expand our ebike fleet, and advocate for safer, more inclusive streets for all. And importantly, hardworking neighbors without transportation have been given life changing access to opportunities through the simple power of an ebike. 


Testimonials

“I’m supposed to be moving into my house on the 1st of the month and if it wasn’t for them (PikeRide)... I probably would've gotten fired…Because I used that bike, and I was on time every day and worked - and worked hard - I’m going to be becoming shift lead at the place I started working."

"I am so grateful to have a PikeRide station at our Greenway Flats Supportive Housing Apartments. 95% of our residents cannot afford transportation or have conditions that would not allow them to drive, so PikeRide was a huge blessing to our residents."
Larry Yonker, Former President and CEO of Springs Rescue Mission
