Changing Lives, Two Wheels at a Time: Our Strategic alliance with Two Wheel View

Can a bicycle change a life? If you ask the team at Two Wheel View, the answer is a resounding Yes. Our Strategic alliance with this incredible Calgary charity is built on a shared belief that a bike is more than just transportation—it’s a vehicle for growth, confidence, and community connection.

Two Wheel View has been a staple in the Calgary community for years, running innovative programs like Earn-a-Bike and various youth expeditions. They don’t just give a child a bike; they teach them how to maintain it, how to navigate their city, and how to believe in themselves. Our Strategic alliance with Two Wheel View (TWV) is one of our most cherished and long-standing partnerships. As a true friend of Alberta Bike Swap, TWV is a legitimate charity that uses the bicycle as a tool for transformation, teaching life skills and resilience to youth from the seat of a bike.

Impact through the Circular Economy:

• Donation Pipeline: At every Calgary Bike Swap, we are a conduit for a massive intake of donated bikes. We are proud to offer high-quality inventory to Two Wheel View, ensuring their programs have the mechanical fuel they need to keep running.
• Life-Long Skills: While Chris and Laura handle the logistics of the Circular Economy, TWV handles the human impact, turning a donated bike into a life-changing opportunity for local youth.
• Shared Values: TWV is a group that plays nicely with others, making them a natural fit for our network of strategic alliances.

Chris and Laura manage the bike swaps, but Two Wheel View provides the heart on the ground. Together, we are ensuring that Calgary’s youth are not just mobile, but empowered.
