Donate - Good Karma Bikes

Good Karma Bikes was inspired by the idea that everyone should have access to essential transporation.

Our mission is to empower people and build community through bikes. Your support provides free bikes and repairs to individuals in need, including those experiencing homelessness, veterans, low-income families and at-risk youth. You are providing those most in-need with a reliable, self-sufficient form of transportation, connecting them to employment, school, healthcare, and essential services. You are connecting them to the community.

By intercepting thousands of bikes from enter landfills each year, you are also a champion for environmental sustainability.

For that, we thank you.

“A small thing for me – like turning a wrench or fixing a flat tire, can have a disproportionate impact on the quality of life of someone just trying to survive.”

– Good Karma Bikes, ED, Jim Gardner
