Youth Bike Giveaways

We believe every kid should have a bike. Our bicycle giveaway programs provide over 1000+ bicycles to kids & teens from across the Treasure Valley, Fort Hall Reservation & Duck Valley Reservation each year.

**Expanded Sliding Scales opportunities are presented in partnership with St. Luke’s Community Health Improvement Fund**

We do our best to get bicycles to kids/teens within 10-30 days after signing up. In some cases the wait can be longer. In some cases we are able to expedite the process.

Email kids@boisebicycleproject.org or call 208-429-6520 if you have any questions about kid/teen bicycle donations

Community members are welcome to pay whatever is meaningful to them - from $10-75 - towards a kids bicycle, helmet, light and lock.

HOLIDAY KIDS BIKE GIVEAWAY

Every December, BBP hosts a massive kids bike giveaway for kids ages 4-11.

Kids are referred to us by local non-profit organizations, schools, social workers, after school programs, and other community partners.

TEEN EARN-A-BIKE

A 4 week class running monthly throughout the summer, BBP’s earn-a-bike gives teens the opportunity to learn the basics of bicycle mechanics while simultaneously earning a bicycle for themselves to ride.

For more info, email kids@boisebicycleproject.org

Urgent Need Bicycles

BBP maintains a program to provide bicycles for teens and other young people in urgent need of reliable transportation due to homelessness, new arrival status or other circumstances as well as mental health relief.

If a youth is unable to obtain a “Sliding-Scale Kids Bike” or to earn a bike through one of our youth programs, they may be able to be put on our urgent need list. Please email our Programs Director, Benton Smith, at benton@boisebicycleproject.org.

BIKES and Safety Hour (BASH)

The BASH is a drop in safety class where kids can learn how to ride a bike and the rules of the road while simultaneously earning a referral for a free kids bike!

RESERVATION PARTNERSHIPS

Through partnerships with the Shoshone-Bannock and Shoshone-Paiute tribal governments, BBP works to help distribute bicycles to the Fort Hall and Duck Valley reservations of Idaho.

The Boise Bicycle Project is located on native lands. We work to acknowledge our indigenous communities through our services and recognize the indigenous homelands on which we sit.
