About us
We Build More Than Bikes Wish for Wheels turns dreams into reality for 2nd graders in your local community through unforgettable team building experience that’ll ignite your organization’s passion, increase your ROI and help kids in underserved communities pedal into new adventures. Do you remember your first bike? That fresh rubber smell, the smooth touch of cold metal on your legs and the grip of the handlebars as you buckled your helmet and got ready to ride with the wind at your back and the pavement in front of you… Our founder, Brad Appel recognized that a bike equals freedom. Growing up it was both his stress relief and his window to the world around him. Decades later, he bought his three kids their first bikes and taught them how to ride. But he started to wonder… “How did children from low-income families get their first bikes when their parents might be struggling to pay the grocery bill?” Thus, Wish for Wheels was founded in 2004, with the mission of giving every kid in need their very own bike and helmet. They showed organizations & corporate teams the power of not just building a bike, but handing a brand new bike to a kid who’s been dreaming about one forever. Imagine creating team building events that reignite the spark of creativity and create a culture of cooperation and respect… without the boring webinars, pizza parties and potlucks. All while helping a 2nd grader’s Wish for Wheels come to life. That’s exactly what we do. Let’s get ready to ride together.

Shared purpose is the foundation of a truly connected team. When your employees come together to build bikes for kids in need, they’re not just assembling parts—they’re creating a bond that goes beyond the workplace. At Wish for Wheels, we believe that when a team unites around a common goal, the impact is powerful and lasting... And we've seen it firsthand. The experience of working together to make a difference doesn’t just strengthen your team, it transforms them. They leave the event with more than just memories—they leave with a renewed sense of purpose and a deeper connection to each other. Ready to elevate your team-building experience? Let’s create something meaningful together.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It sure was a fun day!
I had the joy of joining Medtronic CEO Geoff Martha and more than 400 Medtronic employees and volunteers to build bicycles for Medtronic’s community outreach initiative, Project 6. Together, we built 200 bicycles for Wish for Wheels, a nonprofit organization that will provide the bicycles to 2nd and 3rd-graders at Columbia Heights Public Schools as they prepare for the incoming school year. Thank you to the Medtronic Foundation and Wish for Wheels for planning such a fun event! #MedtronicEmployee #MedtronicProud #EngineeringtheExtraordinary
