Bikes for Kids was born of the Tempo Cyclisme cycling club and fueled by the belief that every child deserves the simple joy of owning a bicycle. The Tempo Project understands that a bike is not just a mode of transportation; it symbolizes freedom, empowerment, and the pure exhilaration of childhood.
Bikes for Kids is an an annual raffle open to any person who would like to purchase a ticket to support the program. The raffle concludes at the end of summer with a drawing for the grand prize, a Turbo Levo SL Expert Carbon E-Bike by Specialized, valued at $10,000.
In 2023 the Bikes for Kids cause conducted community-wide fundraising campaign and the members purchased, assembled, tested, and delivered more than 70 bicycles for local children during the holiday season. The 2024 Bikes for Kids campaign resulted in 165 bicycles purchased and the The Tempo Project has set a goal out pacing that number in 2025.
