We believe bicycles can change the world
At Bikes Without Borders we use bikes and bike-related solutions to empower individuals in marginalized communities through mobility. We believe in the humble bicycle as a means to increase access to vital community services and networks that allow individuals to meet their basic needs and build better lives.
Right now at Bikes Without Borders our focus is on outfitting refugees and low-income families living in underserved Toronto communities with refurbished bicycles through The Great Bike Recycle.
THE 1000 BIKES CAMPAIGN
Our goal in 2024 is to put 1000 refurbished bikes into the hands of Toronto-area newcomers… like Raage from Somalia, who uses his bike to help him get to school so he can get re-certified as an x-Ray technician in Canada.
Donate a bike
Have an old bike laying around? We are always looking for bikes to fuel The Great Bike Recycle! To you an old bike may not have much value, but to someone else it may be the best gift they ever receive.
REQUEST A BIKE
Are you a Toronto newcomer in need of a bike for accessing work, education & recreation opportunities? Submit a request and we’ll do our best to get you a refurbished bike for your needs.
