Bikes Not Bombs
Bikes Not Bombs uses bicycles as vehicles for social change. Since 1984, Bikes Not Bombs has been a nexus of bicycle recycling and community empowerment both in lower income neighborhoods in Boston and throughout the Global South. The organization supports international partners in Africa, Central America, and the Caribbean with bicycle shipments and technical assistance to create opportunities for self-determined social and economic empowerment.
