What Kids On Bikes, Inc. does

Kids on Bikes, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2013 and headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, that addresses childhood inactivity and socioeconomic barriers to bicycle access through three interconnected program pillars: bike access (earn-a-bike programs, bike nominations, and the Pedal Station community bike shop), opportunities to ride (after-school bike clubs, summer camps, PopCycle family rides, and the Great Bicycle Carnival), and bicycling education (safety presentations and helmet provision). The organization serves children and youth primarily in Colorado Springs, where it states that more than half of kids in target neighborhoods lack bike access, and operates the Pedal Station social enterprise — a community bike shop at 2222 Bott Avenue that refurbishes and sells used bikes, runs repair classes, and hosts volunteer activities — as both a revenue source and a programming hub. The operating model is community-led: distribution runs through school and community center partnerships, mobile Bike Library hubs built from repurposed shipping containers, a retail storefront, and seasonal camp programming. Revenue is generated from individual and organizational donations (with stated asks of $50 for a helmet/toolkit and $300 to sponsor an earn-a-bike participant), camp registration fees, and Pedal Station retail; the organization reports a third-party-validated Social Return on Investment of $2.91 returned to the community per $1 donated, averaged across 2020, 2023, and 2024 studies. There is no software platform, proprietary technology, or AI component — Kids on Bikes is a service-delivery nonprofit with a small staff of roughly ten people, long-tenured leadership under Executive Director Daniel Byrd (in role since 2016), and a 2026 Candid/GuideStar Platinum Seal of Transparency.

Core offering

Kids on Bikes delivers youth bicycling programs including after-school earn-a-bike programs, summer bike camps, bike safety education, and community cycling events for children in Colorado Springs. The organization also operates the Pedal Station Community Bike Shop, a social enterprise that refurbishes donated bicycles and resells them along with used parts to sustain programming. Its work combines access to bikes, opportunities to ride, and bicycling education in a unified community ecosystem.

Product overview

Kids on Bikes is a nonprofit organization operating as a single, unified community-focused program rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. The core offering centers on three interconnected pillars: Access to Bikes (through earn-a-bike programs, bike nominations, and the Pedal Station social enterprise), Opportunities to Ride (via after-school bike clubs, summer camps, PopCycle rides, and community events), and Bicycling Education (safety training and helmet education). The ecosystem is designed to work together, with the Pedal Station community bike shop providing sustainability and volunteer opportunities that support all programming.
