Working Bikes is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit that has redistributed more than 75,000 bicycles since its inception in 1999 to humanitarian aid organizations throughout Latin America and Africa. Locally, Working Bikes partners with homeless transition, refugee resettlement, and youth empowerment programs to give out refurbished bicycles to people in need in Chicago. Bicycles are life-changing tools enabling people in underserved communities to gain access to education, jobs, and healthcare that might otherwise be inaccessible.
