Dream Bikes

With proper care, a quality bike can last thousands of miles and survive multiple owners. Unfortunately, most bikes are discarded long before their useful life is fulfilled. Enter Dream Bikes; a pilot non-profit organization funded by Trek.
Dream Bikes teaches youth in challenged neighborhoods to fix, repair, and build new life into donated bikes of any brand. The revamped bikes are sold to the public, with special terms and pricing available to those in direct need of affordable transportation to school and work. Dream Bikes also takes the damaged, unsafe, and un-savable bikes and disassembles them into their valuable, recyclable core components of aluminum and steel.
