Need a bike/Get a bike: BikeMatchSV
Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition has teamed up with the Silicon Valley Bicycle Exchange (SVBE) to offer essential bikes to essential workers in need of transportation during shelter in place. This #BikeMatchSV program is inspired by New York’s Transportation Alternatives' initiative and includes bikes that aren’t in perfect working order.
Can’t afford a bike but need one to get to your job or to get around? Fill out our form and we’ll try to match you with a bike.
Have a bike you aren’t using? If it’s in perfect working order, we’ll match you with a recipient. If it needs a bit of work, SVBE will refurbish the bike and give it new life. We’ll make an appointment for your drop-off.
Want to help with the effort? You can make a donation to cover the cost of bike parts (the average bike we refurbish requires $40 in parts or you can help us tune-up the bikes by taking a few home to work on.
Join our #BikeMatchSV program as a recipient, donor, or volunteer through the form here: http://bikex.org/bikematch And please share this program broadly to anyone you think may be in need of a bike (or have bikes to spare).Acceda al formulario en español aquí.Support partnerships like this by becoming a member of SVBC, or donating to Silicon Valley Bike Exchange.
