Share the Ride is Back for 2014 - Donate and Win

Last year, Pinkbike and Trailforks created the Share the Ride Foundation in order to raise funds to buy disadvantaged children around the world brand new bicycles. We aimed to raise $25,000 in contributions, but with your kind help we raised $41,426!

We visited seven locations and gave deserving children all over the world new bicycles, helmets and locks. Those kids can now ride to school, bomb around on their street and of course, learn how to wheelie.

Our goal this year is to raise $30,000 and continue to change the lives of children and youth around the globe by introducing them to the joy of riding a bicycle.
