About Project Bicycle Love

Project Bicycle Love is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that exists to provide new bicycles and helmets to kids and youth in the Ventura County Foster Care System. 

​

We are a local, grassroots organization striving to make a difference in the lives of foster kids through the simple gift of a bike. We work through local social workers to meet individual needs.

​

We are especially passionate about providing bicycles to teens and youth living in groups homes or who are about to age out of the “system”. They generally do not have a driver’s license or vehicle of their own. A good bicycle can provide transportation to school & work and provide a sense of responsibility and freedom.

​

This project started as a personal project we did at Christmas  in 2017. As owners of a local, independent real estate company, we wanted to give back to the community and between our love of bicycling and our passion for foster kids, we decided to purchase and donate bicycles to foster children at Christmas that year. To date, we have donated over 1200 brand new bikes to local kids.

​

Give a Bike, Change a Life!

​

100% of donations stay in our community.
