Our passion for music and movement drives the foundation of this organization. The mission of Bikes & Music is to give all children the opportunity to enjoy bicycling and music to serve the development of body and mind for happiness and well-being. We do this by providing donated bicycles and instruments along with access to instruction, guidance and group events. Bikes & Music has registered for our 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation status and is serving Chicagoland children under the age of 18, who would otherwise miss out on these activities due to financial barriers.
