BikeWalk Williamsburg and Bicycle Co-Op is a non-profit that aims to foster better mental and physical health by promoting safe riding, and hosting events for all age groups—from children and juniors to cycling without age for seniors. They work toward safer roads, crosswalks, and more trails in the region.
BikeWalk Williamsburg and Bicycle Co-Op has partnerships with more than 23 local social service agencies, including House of Mercy, CASA, Literacy for Life, and more. With a certified voucher from any of those recognized organizations, the co-op provides the certificate holder with a bike, a light, a lock, and a helmet for free.
Along with the voucher program, they also offer affordable bikes for purchase in an effort to transform lives. With access to transportation comes expanded opportunities for employment and access to food security, medical treatment, and other basic living needs.
In 2023, BikeWalk Williamsburg and Bicycle Co-Op distributed more than 550 bikes in the community, with 150 of those being secured through the voucher program.
