Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition has teamed up with the Silicon Valley Bicycle Exchange (SVBE) to offer essential bikes to essential workers in need of transportation during shelter in place. This #BikeMatchSV program is inspired by New York’s Transportation Alternatives‘ initiative and includes bikes that aren’t in perfect working order.
- Can’t afford a bike but need one to get to your job or to get around? Fill out our form and we’ll try to match you with a bike.
- Have a bike you aren’t using? If it’s in perfect working order, we’ll match you with a recipient. If it needs a bit of work, SVBE will refurbish the bike and give it new life. We’ll make an appointment for your drop-off.
- Want to help with the effort? You can make a donation to cover the cost of bike parts (the average bike we refurbish requires $40 in parts or you can help us tune-up the bikes by taking a few home to work on.
Join our #BikeMatchSV program as a recipient, donor, or volunteer through the form here: http://bikex.org/bikematch And please share this program broadly to anyone you think may be in need of a bike (or have bikes to spare).
