FHBA Breakfast Meeting Recap - September 10, 2026

How Upcycle Bikes is Upscaling in West Michigan

The Forest Hills Business Association welcomed members and guests to our September Breakfast Meeting on September 10 at the Fifth Third Bank Forest Hills Financial Center.

Attendees began the morning by networking with fellow business professionals while enjoying breakfast generously sponsored by KSI Kitchen & Bath. The meeting also included FHBA announcements and community updates, providing members with opportunities to learn about upcoming initiatives, resources, and events.

The featured presentation was delivered by Matt Jaglowski, Executive Director of Upcycle Bikes, who shared how the organization is helping adults throughout West Michigan gain access to reliable transportation through the donation and refurbishment of bicycles.

Matt explained how Upcycle Bikes collects donated bicycles, refurbishes them with the help of staff and volunteers, and provides them at no cost to adults who need dependable transportation to get to work, attend appointments, access services, and manage daily responsibilities. Attendees also learned about the organization's partnerships, educational programming, volunteer opportunities, and continued expansion throughout West Michigan.

The presentation highlighted the important role transportation plays in creating access to employment, healthcare, education, and other essential services. Through practical solutions and strong community partnerships, Upcycle Bikes continues to create opportunities for independence and long-term success for individuals throughout our region.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for another engaging morning of networking, learning, and community connection.

A special thank you to Fifth Third Bank Forest Hills Financial Center for hosting our September Breakfast Meeting and to KSI Kitchen & Bath for sponsoring breakfast.

We look forward to seeing everyone at our next FHBA event.
