Second Chance Bikes Competitors

Bike New York is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to facilitate & promote cycling in New York City through education, public events, & collaboration with community organizations & municipal agencies. Our vision is to encourage cycling as a safe & sustainable means of transit and recreation, & to elevate cycling as a healthy compliment to New Yorkers’ daily lives. Working with the Department of Transportation & other city agencies, Bike New York provides access to cycling for New Yorkers by offering free bicycling education classes for kids & adults in all five boroughs, informational school assemblies & after-school programs, & a summer program for youth enrolled in organized camp groups. Since 2011, these education programs have reached more than 17,500 New Yorkers. These free classes are funded through public events, most notably the TD Five Boro Bike Tour, America’s largest cycling event. With more than 32,000 cyclists, this ride brings bike enthusiasts from all over the world to enjoy 40 miles of traffic-free streets in New York City. Bike New York also produces Bike Expo New York (BE NY), presented by Eastern Mountain Sports. With more than 43,000 attendees, the inaugural BE NY was the largest free consumer bike expo in the country. Proceeds from this event help to fund Bike New York’s education programs.

Bikes Not Bombs uses the bicycle as a vehicle for social change to achieve economic mobility for Black and other marginalized people in Boston and the Global South. We reclaim thousands of bicycles each year. We create local and global programs that provide skill development, jobs, and sustainable transportation. Our programs mobilize youth and adults to be leaders in community transformation.

The Bicycle Coalition's mission is to make bicycling a safe and fun way to get around for anyone in Greater Philadelphia. Our work is to connect places, improve quality of life, engage people and make us safer.
