Working Bikes is a 501c3 organization that was started in 1999 by a group of volunteers dedicated to recycling bikes, supporting bike culture, and helping international and local projects.
With the help of volunteers, Working Bikes ships over 5,000 bicycles per year to projects in countries throughout Latin American and Africa.
Working Bikes continues to operate today largely through the efforts of our dedicated volunteers. Individuals and groups looking to lend a hand are always welcomed. There are many ways to help, whether you are an expert bike mechanic, or just enjoy giving back to the community.
