Join us and visit with over 30 bikers from all over the U.S. as they bike across the United States in support of affordable housing.

Bike & Build operates eight cross-country routes each summer. Approximately 32 riders team up on each of these routes to pedal from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific, along the way stopping in hundreds of communities to build with local housing affiliates like Habitat for Humanity of Central Iowa and to advocate for the need for increased availability of affordable housing for low-income families.

The riders on this trip, hailing from all over the United States, are raising money to donate to various housing nonprofits. Bike & Build riders fundraise the money to support these organizations and make the competitive funding decisions.
