The 2023 Free Bikes 4 Kidz season is in the books and 2,035 kids got bikes and a new helmet just before the holidays! Dozens of cheerful volunteers and beautiful Christmas decorations greeted the kids as they arrived and helped create a wonderfully fun and festive atmosphere in the FB4K warehouse. Of course, Santa also paid a visit to the event to spend time with the kids as they received their new bike. Thanks to the public bike donation event at Home Depot stores and other generous bike shop partners, almost 2,300 bikes were donated for local kids, some being used as parts donors. With the help of 1,321 volunteers who worked 5,680 hours, the bikes were cleaned and repaired to get them ready to be given to a new child in just 10 weeks, making this one of the biggest pop-up bike shops in the country!
Rochester Rotary was proud to be a part of the Bikes for Kids Detroit project this year.
