Hi All

We do Bike Drives all the time that are put on by us or members of the community.  We then use the bikes in our programming or shop and refurbish them via staff or volunteers to sell or giveaway

We have a big Kids Bike-o-Rama bike giveaway for youth in June and Dec when we giveaway approximately 150- 200 bikes per session to youth from limited income families and we work with partner organizations to recruit the youth participants.  We also have adult bike giveaways ( Bikes-for All!) and a program where we giveaway bikes at schools and orgs (UGottaGetABike)

Here is our Bike Drive Guide that we share with people, schools, community organizations who want to put on a drive for us ( It is about half way down the page under ‘Host a Bike Drive’) https://bikeworks.org/donate/used-bicycle/

That's a great idea. Have you identified ready volunteers to help out? Ulick

Hey guys! 

I was a member of the think tank long ago, but have recently rejoined.  I'm wanting to do a youth bicycle drive for the holidays.  Anyone ever done one before?  Got any tips? 

I'm just hoping to help people clear their garages of unwanted youth bikes, and then in turn, provide them for inner city youth here in Chattanooga that need them and could use them for Christmas. 

Thanks! 

Kat
