“All of the bikes the Cycle Manoa sells at its semesterly bike sales for students are received as donations, and money is collected only to cover the costs of parts and tools necessary to fix them. You can help us keep our program running by donating any whole bikes, parts, or tools you have lying around. Stop by the shop during our weekly hours, or get in touch and we’ll coordinate a drop off. Every little bit helps!”
Have a Bicycle to Donate?
Right on! We’re all about being sustainable, recycling, and helping others – and stoked you feel the same way too. HBL is happy to accept bicycle donations at our office in Kaimuki and will either use bicycles for HBL’s education courses or fundraising events, or bring the donation to one of our community partners. Or feel free to donate directly to these groups below!

About KVIBE
The program provides Kalihi children and teens training in bike mechanics, recreational and competitive cycling, and social entrepreneurship through its bicycle donation, repair and recycling ventures. Positive adult mentors and career role models offer encouraging support as youth (ages 8-18) build their capacity and self-esteem through hands-on vocational training, community service activities and real-life work experiences. Youth gain job skills, learn problem-solving and communications skills, grow community connectedness, and move up ladders of opportunity.
About donating bikes
“Each year there are 400 donated bikes that are refurbished by youth and about 4000 bikes are repaired though 9000 youth service hours. 90 percent of participants surveyed reported riding their bicycles more often since starting at KVIBE and 63 percent of youth saying they have helped other to learn how to fix bikes. Youth drop into the space and are given the opportunity to earn a bike by learning how to fix and maintain a bike in addition to volunteering to help maintain the flow of the shop. Youth get to keep the bikes they have worked on.”
