Free Bikes
226 Hudson Ave., Rochester, NY
Free bicycles are given away Wednesday and Saturday ONLY. Arrive by 9 AM to enter your name in the lottery.
We use a lottery system to make the giveaway process fair for everyone. Bikes are given away while the supply for that day lasts.
No referral, voucher, or appointments needed.
Demand for free bikes often exceeds our supply. Also, we may not have a particular style of bicycle available on the day that you visit. (if that happens, please come back another day as we are constantly re-stocking our supply).
Please have patience, we are all volunteers.
To receive a free bike from us:
A picture ID is required for adults.
Clients must have a working lock with a chain/cable or $5 to purchase a lock.
Children under 18 must have an adult with them to receive a bike.
The person getting the bike must be present.
The bike must fit the rider. This is a safety issue.
One bike every 12 months.
No bikes given away to children on weekdays while school is in session.
We are not able to save bikes for people.
