The Coalition for Appropriate Transportation (CAT) in Bethlehem is refurbishing 100 youth bicycles to give to children ages 5–12 from families in financial hardship across Lehigh and Northampton Counties. Each child will receive a renewed bike, a new helmet, and a CAT Bike Smart certificate, along with an invitation to youth bike education events in 2026.
A special bike pickup event will take place on Tuesday, November 18, from 4–7 p.m. at CAT’s current location at 1935 W. Broad Street, Bethlehem, PA. Parents can reserve a bike by emailing cat@lvcat.org with their child’s age and height.
CAT volunteers are rebuilding the bikes with care under the supervision of experienced mechanics.
Community members who want to join the build effort can also email cat@lvcat.org to volunteer. No prior experience or tools are needed.
CAT will be moving to the Walnut Street Parking garage in December
