I've been a supporter of Bikes Not Bombs for many years and this year I'm again raising funds in the annual bike-a-thon which takes place on May 17th (yes, I got a late start this year, with some travel, and a new granddaughter).

Bikes Not Bombs is a small non-profit that knows how to operate with very low overhead.  For over 40 years, Bikes Not Bombs has been making a difference:

• In our community - by engaging and training young people in the earn-a-bike and other programs.
• For the environment - by reclaiming thousands of unwanted bikes, and encouraging sustainable transportation.
• Across the world - by sending these bikes (along with tools and training) to groups in third world countries where they are reused.

You can help keep this all going by making a donation on this page

Finally, you too can join the ride - there are three distance options to choose from (10 to 50 miles) and the fundraising minimum is refreshingly low!  Click here to register to ride along with me.  

I know that we're all in different situations, with different priorities and different favored causes.  But thanks for considering this request!
