Provide access. Create change.
Colorado Gives Day is December 8. Your gift can start making an impact today.
PikeRide is a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit building a community that is connected. Where everyone has what they need to thrive, where neighbors know each other by name, and where nobody is left behind due to lack of transportation.
Did you know?
Lack of transportation is one of the most common barriers to employment. Here in Colorado, 42% of low-income and unhoused people couldn’t accept a job because they had no way to get there. One in five missed a job interview.
Social isolation raises the risk of dementia by 50%, and its toll on our lifespan is comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Americans spend 20 hours less a month with friends than we did 20 years ago.
Here in El Paso County, more than 100,000 of our neighbors are 65 or older and that number is climbing. When the Pikes Peak Area Agency on Aging asked what older adults in our region need most, the answer was transportation, ranked number one.
But the future doesn’t have to look like the past, and you can be the reason why.
From isolation to empowerment: a bicycle can change everything.
For so many, transportation isn't about convenience, it's a lifeline. It is the difference between a job interview and another missed opportunity, between connection and isolation, between hope and exhaustion.
When you support PikeRide, you strengthen our work in building a community where no neighbor is left behind due to lack of transportation, where cycling infrastructure is expanded to more communities, and where ebikes are an affordable and accessible means of transportation for everyone, from joyriders to those who depend on them.
