Save these dates: Saturday, September 30 and Saturday, November 4!
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30 • 9am-2pm • AT THE FB4K BIKE SHOP: 354 COYIER LANE, MADISON
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4 • 10am-2pm • AT THE FB4K BIKE SHOP & A FEW OTHER LOCATIONS WEST OF MADISON (TBD)
It’s that time again when we start collecting the bikes you’ve outgrown or decided to part with. On Saturday, September 30 from 9am-2pm, we will be hosting our first bike donation drive of the season! Our hopes are to collect 400 donated bicycles on this day. We’ll spend the winter refurbishing them with the help of numerous volunteers like you. Then in the spring, we’ll give them to folks who wouldn’t otherwise have the chance to own and enjoy all the benefits a bike provides.
Gently used bikes of all sizes and styles are accepted. Bikes that cannot be saved can be dropped off with a $20 disposal donation.
Volunteer on 9/30/23
We are doing things a little differently this fall because we have a centrally located bike shop now. So we are asking that you bring us your unwanted bikes rather than us renting a fleet of trucks and recruiting 40 volunteers to help us collect them in areas around the city. On November 4, we’ll be doing our second bike donation drive and we may consider hosting some satellite locations in Verona, Sun Prairie, and Middleton if we do not meet our goal of 400 bikes collected on 9/30.
Bring unused bikes to our shop at 354 Coyier Lane, Madison, WI 53713 near Rimrock and the Beltline Highway.
If you are unable to make it on these dates, please bring your bikes when it’s convenient for you Monday-Friday between 9:30-3pm to the FB4K workshop at 354 Coyier Lane.
If you live in an apartment complex and see unused bikes at your bike rack, please mention this opportunity to clear them out to your property manager. We’d love to refurbish them and save them from being thrown away or destroyed by snow plows!
