Our Program
The My First Bicycle Foundation provides bicycles to youth in financially disadvantaged households across Canada. The package includes a bicycle, helmet and lock. Our charity wants to help every child in Canada enjoy the benefits of having their own bicycle and the freedom a bicycle can provide.

Eligibility Requirements
Child must be between the ages of 6 and 16
The bicycles we provide are best fit for children between these ages and that these ages are crucial for engaging children in their own active modes of transportation.
