Enviamos bicicletas para ayudar a Ucrania. ¡Y necesitamos tu
donación para hacerlo posible!
Los ucranianos necesitan urgentemente miles de bicicletas. Si te gustan las bicis y las ciudades amigables para las dos ruedas y quieres ayudar a Ucrania de la manera más humana posible, nos encantaría recibir tu donación económica.
Tenemos llamamientos de docenas de ciudades en Ucrania que necesitan bicicletas para entregar alimentos, agua, ayuda humanitaria y medicinas.
Podemos conseguir bicicletas usadas, pero necesitamos su donación financiera para ayudar a financiar el transporte a Ucrania.
¡Ya se entregan más de 900 bicicletas!
Desde julio de 2022, hemos entregado más de 900 bicicletas en más de 30 ciudades y pueblos de Ucrania. Entregamos algunas en campos de refugiados y otras a trabajadores y ONG locales que las usarán para entregar comida y medicinas a personas vulnerables que viven en áreas periféricas bombardeadas que no pueden acceder al centro de las urbes. Cada una de las bicicletas está siendo utilizada y jugando un rol fundamental en las calles y carreteras ucranianas.
¿Para qué necesita ucrania las bicis?
En innumerables ciudades ucranianas que fueron bombardeadas, ocupadas y que están generalmente en ruinas - com Bucha, Irpín, Borodianka, Chernihiv, Kherson, …- la gente tiene problemas con la movilidad básica.
-
No hay transporte público: Los rusos han destruido autobuses y trolebuses, o bien el Ejército de Ucrania los utiliza para transporte de las tropas. En áreas rurales, la gente necesita bicicletas para desplazarse desde los pueblos a las ciudades para acceder a las tiendas, farmacias o médicos. En las ciudades, la gente en vecindaros bombardeados necesita conseguir agua, comida y asistencia ca.
-
Carreteras en ruinas: muchas carreteras, tanto en áreas rurales como en ciudades, han quedado destrozadas por los bombardeos o por vehículos militares, haciendo imposible conducir en ellas. Una bicicleta puede recorrelas con mucha más facilidad.
-
Escasez de gasolina: Hay una escasez de combustible en Ucrania. Además, el Ejército de Ucrania necesita la poca gasolina disponible para defenderse.
-
Problemas de envíos: Debido a los problemas en los envíos causados por la covid-19 y la dificultad para entrar y salir de Ucrania, incluso si pudieran obtener las bicis, no podrían llevarlas al país. En cambio, nosotros hemos establecido una ruta logística desde Copenhague hasta Lviv, con opciones de transporte seguras para llevar las bicicletas hasta Ucrania.

La ciudad de Lviv
En la ciudad de Lviv, en el oeste de Ucrania, hay unos 150.000 refugiados internos, muchos de los cuales viven en campos de refugiados. Necesitan una forma de desplazarse -al supermercado, al médico, a la escuela, a entrevistas de trabajo…– Con nuestros colegas ucranianos, estamos estableciendo un sistema de bicis compartidas en campos de refugiados en la ciudad con las bicicletas que llevamos, así como donando bicis a los campos de refugiados.
Somos una ONG danesa que está recogiendo fondos para enviar bicis usadas desde Europa occidental a las ciudades ucranianas, donde los ciudadanos las necesitan desesperadamente. La humilde bici es una herramienta vital en zonas bombardeadas -tanto pueblos como ciudades-, capaz de ayudar a la gente a conseguir comida, medicinas y suministros, así como de facilitarles transporte hacia el médico o la escuela.
Bikes4Ukranie (en español, Bicis para Ucrania) está registrada como asociación en Dinamarca y tiene permiso para recaudar donaciones por parte de las autoridades danesas.

Why Does Ukraine Need Used Bikes?
In countless Ukrainian cities and towns that were bombed, occupied and are generally in ruins, people have issues with basic urban mobility.
Destroyed Roads Many roads, both in rural areas and in cities, have been destroyed by shelling or by military vehicles, making it impossible to drive on. A bicycle can navigate them much more easily and bikes are easy to repair. They are reliable and resilient and adaptable. |
Lack of Transport The Russians destroyed buses and trolleybuses, or the Ukrainian Army uses them to transport troops. In rural areas, people need bicycles to get from towns to cities to access shops, pharmacies or doctors. In cities, people in bombed-out neighborhoods need to get water, food, medicine and humanitarian aid. |
High Gas Prices & Fewer Cars Gas prices fluctuate wildly. Gas is almost as expensive in Ukraine as in the Nordic countries. Also, the gas needs of the Ukrainian Army is a priority. Many cars were destroyed or sent for use on the front lines. |
Internally Displaced Persons In many cities like Lviv, there are many refugees. They left everything behind when they left their homes and a bike is essential to their mobility to the supermarket, doctor, school, job interviews, etc. With our Ukrainian colleagues, we have set up a bike-sharing system in refugee camps. |
Bicycle are Lifelines
Our bikes are a veritable lifeline for many people. Our bikes are used by social workers and volunteers from NGOs in over 35 cities and towns in Ukraine. They are used to deliver food, medicine and humanitarian supplies to vulnerable citizens in the most devasted areas. Bikes can save lives and help make daily life easier for many citizens in Ukraine. You can follow regular updates about our bikes and our work on our Instagram. Mikael Colville-Andersen, founder of Bikes4Ukraine, has been in Ukraine on eight trips totaling more than eleven months since June 2022. He has seen how grateful Ukrainians are to receive the bikes and how useful they are in making life easier in some of the most war-torn parts of the nation. You can read this article of his about The Bicycle as a Vital Tool and Symbol in Times of War & Crisis.
No Upper Limit to How Many Bikes Ukraine Needs
Since July 2022, we have delivered over 900 bikes from Copenhagen, Berlin, Gent and Budapest to over 35 cities and towns in Ukraine. Every single bike is in use daily to deliver food, water, humanitarian aid and medicine to vulnerable citizens in de-occupied areas - including those that are still being shelled by Russia. We now have received appeals from dozens of more cities that desperately need bikes: Lviv, Chernihiv, Bucha, Mykolaiv, Dnipro, Kherson, Kharkiv - and the list goes on. There will be a need for bikes well into the future.
Below you can see volunteers and social workers using our bikes to deliver vital goods to their fellow citizens.
