Community Partner: Kind Bikes

Our Bikes Your Cause

Founded in 2016, Kind Bikes is the brainchild of co-founder Jimmy Stubbs. Drawing from his experience as a participant and then cycling coach with Team in Training, Jimmy realized that there was a huge obstacle preventing thousands of people from participating in charity cycling races and triathlons the cost of the bicycle. With entry-level road bikes averaging around $1,000, participation in these types of fundraising events is often limited. To promote the sport of cycling and to remove the costly hurdle for those interested in improving their health and supporting their favorite charities, Jimmy developed the idea of Kind Bikes.

Kind Bikes provides affordably priced rental bicycles and related cycling equipment to individuals participating in charity cycling events. Rentals include a road bike, transportation rack, pump and lock. The rental also includes a drop-off of the cycling equipment by Kind Bikes volunteer staff. This allows them to ensure a proper fit and provide one-on-one training.

Today, Kind Bikes proudly serves the greater metro Atlanta area and a growing number of other communities throughout the United States. Its fleet of bicycles and related cycling equipment is working hard to raise awareness and money for local and national charities such as the Kiwanis Club, American Diabetes Association, Camp Twin Lakes and Action Cycling Atlanta. As Kind Bikes continues to serve those who care about the community, they hope to inspire individuals to find creative, healthy ways to support the charities they hold dear.

Since January of 2016, Kind Bikes has helped raise awareness and funds for the causes its riders care about the most. Last year, Kind Bikes outfitted thirty riders who pedaled more than 478 miles for five different charity events, raising a little over $13,690 for their favorite charities and non-profits. Some riders traveled from as far as California, Texas, Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts to participate in charity rides. While Kind Bikes riders have already made a significant impact for their favorite causes, they hope to continue their momentum of positive impact while helping many others achieve their charitable goals in the years to come.

Kind Bikes is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization based in Alpharetta. If you are interested in learning more about Kind Bikes, how to become a charitable partner, or ways you can become involved, please visit KindBikes.org.
