The over-arching goals of West Town Bikes are to promote bicycling in the city of Chicago, to educate youth with a focus on under-served populations, and to foster and serve Chicago's growing bicycling community. While maintaining headquarters and a workspace in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood, WTB is a city-wide service provider for youth programs in the city of Chicago.

Check out this great video of us on YouTube Access: West Town Bikes. Find us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Donations

We are always looking for bicycle, gear, clothing and program supply donations . You can drop them off at Ciclo Urbano any time during business hours or contact Michael Young with questions or to arrange pickup. We currently are in need of functional bikes to serve our programs.

Tax deductible financial donations to support our programs can be made here.

Riding in the winter is just about wanting to and being prepared. Donations of gloves, hats, jackets and other gear make winter riding possible for anyone, after that it's up to the person.
