Barn full of bikes to be given away before Christmas to deserving families. Recycle Cycles and Good Samaritan Network utilized grant funds to repair the donated bikes.
This project will replenish Bicycle Indiana’s depleted inventory of educational materials while providing a critical opportunity to update and modernize outdated content. Over the past three years, Bicycle Indiana has served as a central distribution hub, providing thousands of safe cycling resources to cycling clubs, trail organizations, bike shops, and community partners.
With much gratitude,
Margaret Barawskas, Executive Director, Bicycle Indiana
FreeWheelin' Community Bikes sponsored a bike safety program and provided free helmets for the kids.
The generous grant funding from CIBA Foundation allowed us to create a series of informational videos that help make Pacers Bikeshare more accessible and inviting to the Indianapolis community. From explaining ‘What is Pacers Bikeshare?’ to share essential safety tips and highlighting our new Indy Rides Free pass program, these evergreen videos help more people discover, use, and benefit from Pacers Bikeshare as a convenient and fun way to explore Indianapolis. This support allowed us to bring these stories to life and inspire even more people to ride bikes! - Riley Hill-Kartel, Director of Advancement, Indianapolis Cultural Trail Inc.
