, Madison Metropolitan School District,
Free Bikes 4 Kidz helped over 50 students at our school get bikes of their own. They did a great job of working with our school and carefully selecting each bike—all were in great condition! The smiles on their faces were priceless and many have reported back they love having a bike of their own to ride. Free Bikes 4 Kidz is amazing!

We have 9 elementary schools across Sun Prairie and because of FB4K we are able to provide bicycles for our students that do not have their own to bring to school. The bikes are the perfect size for our 4th and 5th graders to use safely. Thank you for supporting our bicycle program that provides instruction to approximately 1,000 4th and 5th graders!
