Bikes 4 Tykes
Bikes 4 Tykes Charity Team Building Activity
One of our most successful experiences for over 18 years that has resulted in over 5000 bikes being donated to charity.
That’s 500 smiling faces.
Bikes 4 Tykes is a fun team building experience where teams ultimately build bikes that go to kids being supported by our charity partners.
Teams of 4-6 people are assigned a bike frame and must battle other teams in multiple rounds to earn parts for their bike, and bike tools, along with points that go to their team tally.
Entertaining and highly rewarding, Bikes 4 Tykes is the ideal team CSR experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
All of the challenges are bike-related to keep in theme. Work up a sweat in Pump up the Jam and Pedal Power while you can flex your brainpower challenges like Bike Trivia and Bucket-Head.
The purpose is to be social, start laughing and connect with those in the room.
Team scores are tallied at the halfway point so that teams can begin building their bike based on how they are ranked on the leaderboard. The final 30 minutes is where the hard work pays off and teams begin to build their bike.
If you aren’t handy with the tools or can’t build Ikea furniture, don’t sweat it, our team are onsite to help you along the way but we’ll also have a bike mechanic give each bike a thorough check before they go to their new recipients.
To conclude the experience we share some photos and letters of kids receiving their bikes in the past before sending the bikes off to their new homes.
Hidden Door Experiences are proud to partner with Weave in Sydney and Brainwave Bikes in Melbourne where the majority of the bikes are donated to assist families. If you have a charity of choice that you would like the bikes donated to, we’re more than happy so please chat with our team.
