We believe:
1. Transportation is a human right.
2. Equal access to transportation leads to social and economic justice.
3. Widespread use of bicycles protects our fragile climate.
4. Things are made to be reused.
Welcome! We’re Madison Freewheel Bicycle Co, better known as Freewheel.
We’re a 501(c)3 charitable organization, dedicated to transportation justice.
Our key work is teaching people to build, repair, and maintain their own bicycles. We get bicycles into people’s lives — and we help people fall in love with bicycles — via our mechanical classes, available for a sliding scale fee.
How do we provide mechanical instruction at little or no cost to our students? Easy: it’s through the generosity of members, volunteers, and donors like you. Friends of our community teach classes, help out around the shop, and provide us with the used bikes and parts that make our work possible. Your kindness keeps our doors open, and ensures our classes are available to everybody for the months and years to come.
Dear Friends of Freewheel,
The board is actively looking for new volunteers and members. There are a variety of ways to plug in, whatever your level of mechanical skill, for all who support Freewheel’s mission. If that’s you, we’d love to see you at the next meeting! Join us at the link below:
