Bikes Not Bombs uses the bicycle as a vehicle for social change to achieve economic mobility for Black and other marginalized people in Boston and the Global South.
RECLAIM
We reclaim discarded bikes, and also help community members reclaim their power, narratives, and potential.
EMPOWER
We empower youth through hands-on skills training, leadership opportunities, and pathways to economic mobility.
TRANSFORM
We transform futures through transportation access, environmental action, and social justice.
Volunteer at our Upcoming Container Loading to Rwanda!
Fast payouts are something that players look for in a New Zealand online casino. Fast payouts are made easier by using e-wallet options. While bank transfers are not instant, they are still quick. Fast payment casinos will have an easy-to-use cashier section. All players must do is choose the method of withdrawal they prefer and specify how much they would like to withdraw. After entering the information required, the withdrawal process can be completed in just minutes.
Bikes Not Bombs is scheduled to ship a container of bicycles and parts to our partner Learn, Work, Develop in Rwanda from Thursday May 28th to Saturday May 30th and we need your help!

Building Careers. Leading Change

We need your help now to advance opportunities for youth and young adults as they build their careers. Our communities deserve youth who are thriving and in charge of their futures. Your support makes that possible.
This spring, we're highlighting three of our own changemakers: Youth Pathways alumni Antonio, Tamirah, and Sam. All three are program alumni who currently work at BNB, supporting the same programs that first brought them into BNB years ago.

About our work
Each year we collect roughly 5,000 used bicycles and tons of used parts from our supporters around Greater Boston and New England.
We ship most of these bikes overseas to economic development projects through our International Partnerships in Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
Bikes that don't get shipped are distributed in Youth Pathways, where teens learn bicycle safety and mechanics skills in the process of earning bikes to keep for themselves. Staff and paid Youth Apprentices working in our retail Bike Shop & Training Center also recondition and sell some of the donated bikes that we receive.
Profits from bicycle sales, parts sales, and repairs go towards funding our youth and international work.
