VOLUNTEER MECHANIC

Freewheels receives donations of bicycles in varying conditions that must be brought to safe and reliable operating condition. We have knowledgeable people who enjoy sharing their skills with people who want to learn how to repair and maintain bikes. Work days are fun and rewarding, and provide an opportunity to learn or sharpen skills that will be useful for years to come. Freewheels provides work stands, tools and an inventory of tubes, tires, and bike parts.

HELP CLEAN BIKES

Help spruce up bikes to make them ready for their new owners.  This is especially suitable for younger people and volunteers who are less mechanically inclined but still want to learn some basics and help refugees.

HELP WITH BIKE DISTRIBUTIONS

When Freewheels delivers a bike, it also provides helmets for all riders, and locks, lights, and other safety equipment for most bike recipients. They also offer a brief safety overview and help fit the bike to the recipient. Distributions occur at the warehouse, at resettlement agency offices, and at apartment complexes where refugees live.
