At Portland Wheelers, every ride reminds us that joy belongs to everyone — no matter their age or ability. Our adaptive trikes make it possible for people who can’t ride on their own to feel the wind in their hair, the sun on their face, and the freedom of the open road.
The need is growing fast. More riders (wheelers), families, and care partners are reaching out each week. And, insurance, equipment, and power costs have all climbed sharply — especially since we rely on electric vans and e-assist trikes daily to make these rides happen.
“This has totally changed my life. I have MS, and I get to ride? I’m learning about Portland. I’m meeting new people. I’m doing more now than l ever did. I’m a social person, so it gets me out of my house, out in the fresh air, and connecting with other fabulous people. What you do for people who just can’t get out and ride a bike is incredible. It’s life-changing for me!”
– Jen Morse, Wheeler
This year, we need to raise $150,000 to keep our wheels turning — and rides free for all.
With your support, we can continue to:
Provide safe, supported rides at no charge to our wheelers or their families — including students at 10 local schools.
Meet the growing demand so no one is turned away
Create new opportunities for our Wheelers – including our recent expansion to Brunswick rides
Build the reserves we need to secure our future and continue to bring joy, connection, and community to hundreds each season.
Your donation keeps the joy rolling – one ride, one smile, one unforgettable moment at a time. Thank you!
