Once again, I'll be riding in the Bikes Not Bombs Bike-a-Thon to raise money for their wonderful local and global programs.  What better vehicle to create social change than a bicycle!

A little about BNB: Each year, they collect roughly 6,000 used bicycles and tons of used parts from supporters around Greater Boston and New England. Most of these bikes are shipped overseas to economic development projects through International Partners in Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Some of the bikes are repurposed in their Youth Programs where teens learn bicycle safety and mechanics skills in the process of earning bikes to keep for themselves. Their retail Bike Shop also reconditions and sells some of the donated bikes that they receive, while employing many graduates of their programs. The Shop's profit from the bicycle sales, parts sales, and repairs goes towards funding their youth and international work.

Please consdier making a donation to help me reach my fundraising goal!
