Our Mission:
Bikes Not Bombs uses the bicycle as a vehicle for social change.
We reclaim thousands of bicycles each year.
We create local and global programs that provide skill development, jobs, and sustainable transportation.
Our programs mobilize youth and adults to be leaders in community transformation.
