Connecting communities, empowering youth, one pedal at a time.

Growing Together, One Bike at a Time

What We Do

Velo.You is a Calgary-based initiative with one clear mission: put a safe, right-sized bike under every kid who needs one.

🎉

Collect Bikes

Through community cleanup programs, we rescue unused bikes from garages, sheds, and recycling depots across Calgary neighbourhoods.

🔧

Fix & Inspect

Our trained young mechanics check every bike for safety and mechanical soundness, replacing worn parts so each ride is reliable.

🏫

Reach Kids at School

We partner with schools to meet kids where they are, fitting them with the right-sized bike, a helmet, lights, and riding lessons.

How It Works

A simple cycle that keeps kids riding safely as they grow.

Communities Donate Bikes

Neighbourhood cleanups and donations bring in bikes of all sizes.

Young Mechanics Repair

Trained youth inspect, fix, and certify each bike for safety.

Kids Get Matched

At school events, each child gets the right-sized bike, helmet, and lights.

Grow & Exchange

As kids grow, they swap for a bigger bike each year for just $15.

The $15 Annual Exchange

$15/year

Kids grow fast. Their bike should keep up.

Each year, your child can exchange their bike for the next size up. The $15 fee pays our young mechanics who ensure every bike is safe and road-ready. Helmets and lights are always included at no extra cost.
