Mission Statement
Bike New York is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization whose mission is to empower New Yorkers to transform their lives and their communities through bicycling.
About This Cause
Vision: A vibrant, healthy, green world with more people riding bicycles. Overview: Bike New York operates the largest free bicycle education program of its kind in the world: every year more than 30,000 New Yorkers benefit from our programs and services. In 2019, Bike New York partnered with One Community, a nonprofit dedicated to professional training and employment placement, to pilot an intensive, hands-on bike mechanic training program that helps formerly incarcerated New Yorkers continue down the path of rebuilding their lives through the power of stable employment. The program focuses on the particulars of repair and maintenance for Citi Bikes and prepares participants for a well-paying union job on Citi Bike’s mechanic team. Recycle-A-Bicycle provided 60 hours of instruction, as well as tools, materials, and support, to a cohort of students. Learn more about this program here. To date 101 participants have participated and graduated from the program.
