Our Story

Freedom, joy, health and friendship. Kids on Bikes mission is to inspire and empower all kids to lead healthy, active, and happy lives through bicycling.

The dream

Kids riding bikes to school, exploring their neighborhoods, and establishing healthy habits all stems from the original motivation to start Kids on Bikes. The unacceptable rise in childhood obesity rates, less kids riding bikes year after year to and from school, and an increase on the amount of time kids spend on various screens each day has continued to provide us with the motivation that we must always dream big, but start small, in order to inspire and empower ALL KIDS to lead HEALTHY, ACTIVE, and HAPPY lives through bicycling.

Making it happen

Our founding Board of Directors established a culture of innovation and fun from day one. Simply getting bikes to kids and bringing together partners from the community has continued to serve Kids on Bikes to the present day. The founders established meaningful relationships with local partners and families that has laid the foundation for our success and ongoing innovation today.

Community impact

We know that in order to create true change, we must have a focused and direct approach to have a meaningful impact in neighborhoods, where kids live, play and go to school.

We know that there are many kids who don’t own a bike and won’t experience the joy of riding it. But we also know that we have to create a community where kids and families embrace biking and go on adventures around the neighborhood and to local parks and trails.
