Welcome to Bike Lady, Inc.

Give a kid a bike. Change a life.

THIS IS HOW WE ROLL

Formed November, 2008 as an impromptu holiday bike-a-thon, Bike Lady, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, volunteer charitable organization based in Columbus, Ohio with the mission to:

To enrich the daily life experience and expand opportunities of Ohio at-risk youth by providing new bikes, helmets, and locks to children who have a history of abuse, neglect, and abandonment, and are served by county child protective services (foster care placement). And, to provide Ohio inmate offenders a chance to give back through volunteer bike assembly community service.
