POWERED BY CORE FOUNDATION

Our Work

Turning good bikes into reliable transportation.

A gently used bike can have years of life left. Success Cycles brings together donated bicycles, student leadership, volunteers, and community partners to help put that life to work.

How it works

From donated to dependable.

Collect

We take in good bikes.

We collect gently used bicycles that are good candidates for refurbishment. Community members and partners help us identify bikes that are no longer being used but still have plenty of life left.

Refurbish

We make them road-ready.

Each bicycle is inspected, cleaned, repaired, and safety-checked. Our team addresses the repairs and maintenance needed to make sure the bike is dependable and ready for its next rider.

Give

We put them to use.

Once a bike is ready, we work with community partners to connect it with someone facing a transportation barrier. Bikes are provided free of charge.

In the workshop

Restored by hand.

No warehouse, no assembly line — just students, a toolbox, and a driveway. Every donated bike is cleaned, repaired, and safety-checked until it is genuinely ready for the road.

Ready for the road

Every bike leaves ready for its next rider.

Each bicycle is cleaned, repaired, and safety-checked before it is given to its new owner. Every rider also receives a helmet and bike lock to help them ride safely and protect their new transportation.

Careful drivetrain work to make a donated bike road-ready

Safe. Reliable. Ready to ride.

Those added essentials cost money. Your support helps us provide:

  • Replacement parts and repair supplies
  • A helmet with every bike
  • A lock with every bike
  • The tools and equipment needed to keep bikes road-ready

Help us get the whole package into a rider’s hands.

Who we serve

Reliable transportation can open doors.

Success Cycles serves people in our community who face transportation barriers. A dependable bicycle can make it easier to get to work, attend school, reach appointments, access essential services, and stay connected to the community.

Neighbors Rebuilding Stability

For people experiencing housing or financial instability, reliable transportation can make everyday responsibilities more manageable. A bicycle can help someone get to work, attend appointments, access services, and take important steps toward greater independence.

Workers & Students

Transportation can be a major barrier when a car is not available or public transit does not reach where someone needs to go. A bicycle can provide a reliable, affordable way to get to work, school, job training, and other opportunities.

New Neighbors

For refugees, immigrants, and others building a new life in our community, a bicycle can provide immediate mobility and greater independence. It can make it easier to reach jobs, schools, stores, appointments, and community resources.

Because access to transportation can change what’s possible.
