About Us

2025 is Big Bike Giveaway's 12th year. Since inception, we've given away over 4,425 bikes to the community & reused over 6,067 donated bikes from the City of London Enviro Depots & unsaleable bikes from Walmart. We've also reused 252,181 pounds of metal, rubber & wire and diverted over 245,768 pounds of materials from our landfills through proper recycling!

Big Bike Giveaway is organized by a husband and wife team in London Ontario who are local community ambassadors. They collect and repair bicycles and give them away for free on one day each year. The goal of the program is to get as many people on bikes as possible and to encourage healthier lifestyles in the community. The program is intended to specifically help those needing this resource to get ahead due to poverty. 

How it works

 

Online registration opens June 1st 2025


On the registration form, registrants will provide us with their:

Height in feet and inches

Weight in pounds

Residence location

Reason they want a free bike

&

Consent for photo and liability release


Free bikes are always:

First-come-first-serve.

If we find a bike that will fit you,

we'll email you and give you the date and location for your bike pick up.


Note that we as we receive thousands of requests each year

and only give away approximately 500 bikes per year.


Thank you for your patience.


We hope to serve you in 2025.




Move from one-day event to mini-events:

Things looked a little different in 2020 & 2021 due to the COVID-19 Health Canada recommendations to eliminate large gatherings. We temporarily changed the way we gave away bikes in London., but have decided to stay with the min-event format as it gives us the opportunity to connect directly with recipients and hear their stories.

Registration is now available online once per year and opens on June 1st each year, remaining open until we receive enough registrations to process.

If we have a bike that will fit registrants, we contact them no later than August 


We are proud to serve the London community.
