Friends, I'm riding in the Bikes not Bombs charity ride again this year. Bikes not Bombs is our local charity that promotes social change through bicycles. You should visit the headquarters on a summer evening when they hold a bike workshop -- the place is swarmed with kids and volunteers working on bikes, learning bike maintenance, teaching safety, etc. It's a wonder to behold! Bikes not Bombs also ships bikes to countries around the world to promote bike ownership and low-impact transportation. Truly a wonderful organization.
