1) The quickest way to #GiveaBike is to join in Working Bikes’ mission of empowering people with bicycles by making a financial contribution. Your support helps give over 9,000 people a year access to a wider world with their own sustainable transportation.

2) The most popular way to #GiveaBike is to donate a used bicycle at Working Bikes or one of our many partner drop-off sites. Working Bikes is trusted by donors of over 10,000 bicycles each year to give their old bikes new life as tools of empowerment in local and global communities.

3) The most festive way to #GiveaBike is to take advantage of the Working Bikes Holiday Bike Sale! To celebrate 20 years of Working Bikes, we’re putting together the best win-win sale of the season. Through the end of the 2019, customers will receive $20 off any purchase over $200, and 20% off any purchase over $500. Give yourself or someone you love a bicycle this holiday season, and know that the money you spend to #GiveaBike to someone in your world will help Working Bikes #GiveaBike across the world. Bike sales support our international donations to bike projects in Africa and Central America, local donations to individuals and families around Chicago (check out one local donation story here!), and all the other work staff and volunteer mechanics put in to support our community and get butts on bikes!

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Monday, October 14th to celebrate 20 years of Working Bikes! We had a blast with you all at Lagunitas Brewing. A big shout out to the folks at TCEP and Ignotz Ristorante for the tasty dinner, as well as all our amazing sponsors and silent auction donors. This year’s celebration was bigger than ever before – Lagunitas even had to open an extra room to fit us all! We hope everyone had a great time and got a chance to meet with some of the wonderful individuals and organizations that help Working Bikes do what we do. We can’t wait to see what the next 20 years look like!
