OUR STORY

WOBC was founded in 2020 when neighbors and friends in the White Oak Community of Red Bank, TN came together to provide free refurbished bicycles to children in the community. Volunteers met on Monday nights to work on bicycles donated by the community in backyard garages and basements throughout Red Bank.

In 2021, WOBC launched it’s Every Child Deserves a Bicycle program by hosting pop-up bicycle giveaways and free bicycle repair for children and youth in White Oak Park in Red Bank. WOBC also started it’s On the Road Again Bicycle Transportation Initiative that focuses on providing bicycles as a primary form of transportation for those experiencing homelessness, or at risk of homelessness.

In 2022, WOBC moved out of the garage shifted it’s model to primarily providing bicycles directly to community organizations, schools, and governmental agencies in the Chattanooga Region. In October, WOBC launched it’s bicycle safety education program thanks to the support from the Tennessee Highway Safety Office.
