This program was conceived as a passion project by Stephanie Segal. Dubbed ‘the Bike Fairy’ by those involved, she believes that every kid should have a bike regardless of family circumstance. Bikes are provided free of charge and provide children the feeling of freedom unique to cycling. Funds raised are used strictly for second-hand bike purchasing and repairs when necessary.

Volunteers fundraise, pick up, deliver and seek out bicycle donations and listings. Segal coordinates all bike to family match ups, keeping track of kids‘ ages and heights, bike sizes, locations & logistics. From babies to teens, and even parents so families can ride together, Everybody Bikes Montreal, we aim to have everybody riding.

This program is under review with the Canada Revenue Agency.

Once complete, this will provide a platform for donors to find charities to whom to donate specific surplus items and charities will present themselves as a “market” for such goods, call it an “eBay for Charities”. It is also hoped that Nellie’s Market will be able to match volunteers with charitable initiatives. If you are a donor who has surplus goods, please contact us.
