Don't want to haul your bike home for the summer? The Office for Sustainability is partnering with University Housing and Pedal it Forward to host a Bike Donation Drive during move-out week. All donated bikes will be given to Pedal It Forward, a local nonprofit that will refurbish your bike and return it to the U of A campus to be gifted to a student in need.
Through collaborations between campus departments and Pedal It Forward, this amazing partnership has already led to hundreds of bicycles being granted to U of A students who need a bicycle for transportation. In 2023 alone, Pedal It Forward refurbished over 150 bikes for U of A students.
