About DreamBikes

Part non-profit bike shop, part community revitalizer, DreamBikes is an organization that hires and trains teens in disadvantaged neighborhoods to repair and sell donated used bikes. Since 2008, DreamBikes has refurbished and returned over 20,000 used bikes to the community, provided jobs for over 150 teens, and helped a diverse audience see the world from the saddle of a bicycle.

At the heart of DreamBikes is a passion for building community and the belief that providing young people with work experience will open up future job opportunities that will make a difference in their lives. DreamBikes aims to build stronger communities by partnering with local organizations, serving underserved populations, and giving back to the local community through donated bikes, classes, mobile repair, and other outreach events.
