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.

Imagine a child's smile as they receive their very own bike—a symbol of independence, adventure, and endless possibilities. But gifting bikes goes beyond a simple act of generosity; it's a catalyst for positive change in the lives of children and for the communities they belong to. Gifting bikes to under-served children: 🚲️ Leads to enhanced public health as children are more active and living healthier lifestyles 🚲️ Allows children to be more engaged in their community and with their friends and neighbors 🚲️ Gives students a way of getting around that doesn't involve a vehicle, leading to positive environmental impact 🚲️ Allows families to save money on fuel, providing an economic benefit Bikes are so much more than they seem to be on the surface!
