Trek: Riding together for 20 years

As World Bicycle Relief celebrates 20 years of impact, we are proud to recognize Trek Bicycle as one of our most committed, visionary allies in the movement to mobilize communities through bicycle mobility.

Trek has stood beside World Bicycle Relief since some of our earliest days, championing our belief that bicycles could be life-changing tools in times of crisis—and even more powerful in long-term development. That shared conviction launched a partnership that continues to gain momentum, year after year.

From the beginning, Trek has brought innovation and a global network of changemakers through product development support and fundraising campaigns. 

Trek’s commitment to quality and purpose aligns with our own dedication to building bicycles that last and truly meet the needs of rural riders. Their influence has helped us continually evolve our bicycle and reach hundreds of thousands of individuals across the most rural regions of the world.

To date, Trek’s partnership has helped us distribute more than 850,000 bicycles—and they’ve been part of every milestone along the way. Whether it’s helping a girl get to school safely or ensuring a health worker can reach remote patients, Trek understands the power of two wheels to spark lasting change.

As we look toward the next chapter of our work, we are deeply grateful for Trek’s enduring commitment and belief in a world where bicycles can unlock opportunity for all.

Thank you, Trek, for riding with us for 20 incredible years—and for helping build a future full of movement, freedom, and joy.
