Reborn Bikes

Mission

Our mission is to bring refurbished bicycles and bike education to underrepresented populations while lowering carbon emissions in our region. We believe bicycles are a vital part of a thriving and sustainable community.  

Bottom Line for Portland

Research shows there are clear sensory-motor, social and emotional benefits for all children and adults with access to bikes. Improvements to personal health and the health of planet are tied to choosing a pedaling way of life. 

Quote

“Our refugee clients were amazed to receive free bikes for their families. Coming to a new country with only a few suitcases, and starting a new life in Portland, they are grateful to have freedom of movements."

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

We believe in the right to mobility for all people.  We strive to cultivate partnerships to help us reach into underrepresented communities and ensure the bulk of our programming serves marginalized groups. 71% of those we serve fall under the federal poverty line and 62% are from minority populations.
