The Tree of Bikes was the first of its kind in the United States. This inspiring piece of art displayed 120 bicycles on a 24 foot, hand-crafted, aluminum tree frame in the heart of the American Tobacco Campus located in Durham, NC.

Inspired by Durham resident Stevon L. Green, who organized fundraisers to provide bikes for children in his neighborhood, Blake Strayhorn, Executive Director for Habitat for Humanity of Durham was sparked by an idea he saw on the Internet to help increase and bring awareness to the bike collection efforts. 

The Tree of Bikes brought together a community and sparked children’s imaginations at Christmas. In 2015, over 240 bikes and helmets where collected and distributed to children in affordable housing at the Cornwallis Road Housing Project in Durham, NC.
