The event!
Bikes for Kids Bike Drive, our summer version of the Holiday Bike Drive, is back! Thanks to generous sponsorship by Fred Meyer and the Trail Blazers, we’re giving away 200 bikes to kids on Saturday, July 22 nd at the Moda Center.
Biking is at the heart of what makes Portland great. However, the cost of purchasing a bicycle is a major obstacle for many families living in underserved communities. Just like our annual Holiday Bike Drive, Bikes for Kids will provide children with a safe refurbished bicycle, a new helmet, and basic safety education.
How can you help?
Welcome families to the event, take children through the giveaway process as a Bike Buddy, use your mechanical skills to complete bike safety checks, fit helmets, demonstrate signals and safe riding, provide translation services, or simply share your love of bicycling with the next generation. No experience is necessary, just a love of children and bicycles. We’ll provide training and support all day, plus a catered lunch.
AM and PM shifts available. Great for individuals and groups.

Description
The Community Cycling Center, founded in 1994, helps broaden access to bicycling and its benefits through our hands-on programs, volunteer projects, and neighborhood bike shop. Our Commitment to the Community:
Bicycles are a vehicle for change. All year long, we strengthen our community and protect our environment by making used bikes accessible to people of all ages, abilities, and incomes. Our earn-a-bike programs help low-income youth and adults become self-sufficient, healthy, and safe.
Bicycles should be accessible to everyone. Our professional retail bike shop sells refurbished bicycles at a range of reasonable prices and offers a full menu of services.
It takes a community to do what we do. Bicycles and parts are donated from individuals, institutions and supporting businesses. Churches, businesses, schools, and neighborhood groups hold bike collections to help collect bikes. Volunteers help us recycle, fix up program bikes, and coordinate events
