, City of Fitchburg,
Jamestown Neighborhood of Fitchburg has received the wonderful gift of bikes and helmets. This is more than a gift, it is a means to a joyous childhood and freedom spent with friends. I can’t say enough about FB4K and its volunteer mission to build stronger communities through bikes. FB4K makes it easy for everyone to make a difference in the communities they live. The many smiles and excitement of the children and their parents keeps me energized until next year’s event. FB4K Madison is a place for everyone!

, 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!

Alison Anderson
, Sun Prairie School District,
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!
