Help refugees to settle in Finland and the Finnish cycling culture.
Finland is a cycling country, and bicycles are an important means of transport in daily life and source of joy in leisure.
Cycling allows refugees to go to school or work, gives freedom of movement, lets them get familiar with their new surroundings and provides an affordable way of exercise. Many refugee centres are located in places with poor public transport service, and therefore bikes are particularly important.
Do you have a bicycle that works but that you aren’t using? Donate it through us to those in need!
Announcement August 14th 2024: Bikes4Refugees operations are currently halted due to water damage in Helsinki Bike Kitchen’s premises. We will inform on this webpage as soon as it’s possible to donate and request bikes again.
Just fill in the form below and you will receive further instructions via email. Note that at the moment bikes can only be received in the Helsinki metropolitan area.
We only accept bicycles in working condition.
