We Build More Than Bikes

Our founder, Brad Appel recognized that a bike equals freedom. Growing up it was both his stress relief and his window to the world around him. Decades later, he bought his three kids their first bikes and taught them how to ride. But he started to wonderâ€Ĥ “How did children from low-income families get their first bikes when their parents might be struggling to pay the grocery bill?”

Thus, Wish for Wheels was founded in 2004, with the mission of giving every kid in need their very own bike and helmet. They showed organizations & corporate teams the power of not just building a bike, but handing a brand new bike to a kid who’s been dreaming about one forever. 

Imagine creating team building events that reignite the spark of creativity and create a culture of cooperation and respectâ€Ĥ without the boring webinars, pizza parties and potlucks. All while helping a 2nd grader’s Wish for Wheels come to life. 

That’s exactly what we do. Let’s get ready to ride together.
