<section class='field-body'><p>Carter Stern says it’s “still a little surreal” to see reminders of Hurricane Harvey’s devastation throughout Houston. But in the three weeks since the storm hit, he’s also realized how his work with bikes can help get the city moving again.</p>
<p>Stern, executive director of BCycle, Houston’s five-year-old bike-share program, kept seeing his bikes pop up on social media in the days and weeks after Harvey. Locals were using them to get to work, pick up supplies, or simply <a href="https://www.bicycling.com/training/exercise/7-weird-things-happen-your-body-while-riding" target="_blank">relieve stress</a>. After all, while the storm put up to half a million cars out of commission in the Houston area, only two of BCycle’s 46 stations were destroyed.</p></section> </div>

<p>That’s how Stern got the idea for Keep Houston Rolling, a program offering free bikes to stranded hurricane victims.</p>
<p>“We knew bicycles would be key,” Stern says. “About a quarter of Houston residents make less than $30,000 a year. They’re not going to be able to replace a car right away. These bikes will make it easier for them to get around until then.”</p>
<p id="outbrain_read_more"></p><p>BCycle sponsor Trek immediately offered 400 hybrid bikes, as did the bicycle manufacturer Giant. Hundreds of privately donated bikes and accessories began pouring in as well. Within a day of the organization posting an application on its <a href="https://houston.bcycle.com/about/keep-houston-rolling" target="_blank">website</a>, it received hundreds of responses.</p>
<p><strong>RELATED: <a href="https://www.bicycling.com/culture/cyclist-bikes-through-flooded-houston-streets-hurricane-harvey" target="_blank">Cyclist Bikes Through Flooded Houston Streets After Hurricane Harvey</a></strong></p>
<p>Clifford Bradbury, a resident of the badly hit Westbury neighborhood, was one of the first Houstonians to receive a bike. He says his new Mongoose Hotshot has given him back a feeling of control.</p>
<p>“I now commute everywhere by bus and, sometimes, have to wait hours in between bus transfer times or have to walk a long distance because some places don't have a bus stop nearby,” Bradbury says. “Now I just bring my bike, and I can skip some of the in-between buses. I can go places that were too far to walk, but definitely not too far to cycle.”</p>
<p>The 30-year-old computer technician also found that the bike opened up the city to him. “I thought I’d mainly just ride my bike when I needed to get somewhere, but now I'm finding places to ride to because I want to ride,” he says.</p><div id='in_content_nativo_desktop'>&nbsp;</div><div class='zeus_inhouse_ad_container desktop' style='display: none;'></div><div class="zeus-teads-container mobile"></div>
<p><strong>RELATED:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bicycling.com/culture/advocacy/where-to-donate-a-bike" target="_blank">Where to Donate a Bike</a></strong></p>
<p>So far, BCycle has given away fewer than 100 bikes, but Stern expects that number to rise exponentially this week as volunteer mechanics both locally and from across Texas arrive to help build up the donated inventory.</p>
<p>One additional imperative for Stern was finding enough bikes for kids.</p>
<p>“This has been a traumatic experience for many families,” he says. “Parents want to take their kids for a fun bike ride, to help make them feel normal again, if just for a little while.”</p>
<p>BCycle will continue accepting donations until “we just can’t take anymore,” Stern says. Although it’s hard to find any positives in the destruction wrought by Harvey, Stern hopes the donations will have lasting, positive effects for years to come.</p>
<p>“Many people are riding bikes right now because they don’t have many other options,” Stern says. “But I want to believe that they’ll continue to ride even after they replace their cars, not because they have to, but because they want to. Who knows? Maybe this will help create <a href="https://www.bicycling.com/culture/advocacy/first-us-bike-share-death-highlights-need-for-better-infrastructure" target="_blank">safer cycling infrastructure</a> in the future.”</p>

You can also <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/keep-houston-rolling" target="_blank">give cash here</a>.&nbsp;And you can keep up with the latest cycling news by <a href="http://www.bicycling.com/content/newsletter?rdl_source=bicycling.com&amp;rdl_medium=textlink&amp;rdl_campaign=donated-bikes-for-hurricane-harvey-victimsBKE&amp;rdl_term=Racing" target="_blank">subscribing to the Bicycling newsletter</a>.</em></p>
