Need a Bike?
Our volunteers collect donated bikes, rehab those bikes, and distribute them (along with free helmets!) to people who need them.
To be eligible for a free bike and helmet you must meet the following criteria and complete our online bike application/safety course:
- Under 18 years old, not able to afford to purchase a bike on your own, and willing to complete an online bike safety course as described
OR
- 18 or older, do not have access to reliable transportation, need a bike to get to work or school, not able to afford to purchase a bike on your own, and willing to complete an online bike safety course as described.
We distribute our bikes through a network of community partners. If you need a bike, please complete our online application / safety course using the link provided at the top and bottom of this page. During the application process you will be asked to designate one of our community partners to review and process your application.
Once the community partner you selected approves your application, one of our volunteers will contact you to make arrangements to meet you at our warehouse to receive your free bike and helmet.

Our warehouse is located at 1848 Wilbur Avenue, Vero Beach, FL 32960. BWIRC volunteers will be on hand to assist you in adjusting your helmet and bike so that they both fit you properly. They will also help you with any other adjustments your new (to you) bike may need to make it as safe and comfortable as possible.
Please note that our warehouse is only open by appointment.
