About Pedal Forward
Pedal Forward is a new, developing initiative. Our goal is to create a community bike exchange and repair education program.
Work in Progress: We’re building this project from the ground up. Nothing is finalized yet — we’re actively seeking partners, volunteers, and donors to help shape what comes next.
Our Vision
- Anchorage is already one of the most bike-friendly cities in America.
- Everyone deserves dignified, affordable, reliable transportation.
- A safe bike provides agency, independence, and stability: it helps people keep jobs, access housing, attend appointments, and connect with their community.
- Repair literacy builds confidence and self-reliance, making cycling a sustainable part of everyday life.
Our Goals
- Expand safe access to reliable transportation by refurbishing and providing affordable bikes equipped with lights, locks, and registration.
- Grow bike repair literacy and independence through workshops and volunteer-led maintenance support.
- Track community bike movement with centralized registration and transparent intake metrics.
- Reduce the stolen-bike market by promoting registration, exchanges, and awareness — shrinking demand for questionable bikes.
- Stabilize individuals and families by ensuring they have safe, consistent mobility for work, school, healthcare, and community life.
