Bicycles are essential transportation for many who need to get around at any time but especially now during the coronavirus outbreak. This might include traveling to essential jobs, running crucial errands, or participating in mutual aid for vulnerable people who cannot leave their homes.
Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates is connecting those who have an extra bicycle to folks in the community who need one. Whether you have a bike or need a bike, contact us via the links below, and we will match you.
We have teamed up with a number of other bike advocacy groups to create an on line platform to match up people who have a bike to donate with those who need a bike.
Here’s how it works
If you need a bike
Fill out the I Need a Bike form and tell us about yourself and what you need.
We will contact you when we have a match for you. You and the donor will be provided with each other’s contact information so that you can make your own arrangements to hand off the bike.
If you have a bike
Fill out the I Have a Bike form and tell us about the bike.
We will contact you when we have a match for you. You and the recipient will be provided with each other’s contact information so that you can make your own arrangements to hand off the bike.
Guidelines
- Participation in the Bike Match program constitues your agreement to the terms of the LIABILITY WAIVER.
- Donated bikes should be in “ready to ride” condition. Something that you would ride, at least in a pinch.
- The bike hand-off will take place between the donor and recipient in an outdoor, no-contact exchange in a public place observing social distancing guidelines.
- For sanitary purposes, clean the bike thoroughly before hand-off (handlebars, gear shifters, seat, etc). For the same reason, all bike exchanges are permanent.
If you have any questions, please get in touch.
