CALLING ALL BIKE RIDERS: Ride with Bikes Not Bombs (BNB) to support its unique social justice work recycling 6,000 bicycles annually with programs here in Boston and nations of the Global South, empowering people and communities with sustainable and healthy pedal-power. As a grassroots organization, BNB depends on Bike-A-Thon riders’ sponsorship to keep its work going in its 25th year.
Choose from three scenic rides: 15, 25, or 62 miles. Roll at your own pace; the 15-miler is especially great for families with children. We provide mechanics check-ups, rest stops with food and drink, maps of the beautiful routes, lead riders, support vehicles, a gourmet meal at the Green Roots Festival, and great prizes. Pre-registration is required, and riders must raise a minimum of $150 of pledges for BNB. Check www.bikesnotbombs.org for a schedule of training rides and other pre-Bike-A-Thon events for registered riders. Register at our website—www.bikesnotbombs.org—or call 617-522-0222.
TWO AMAZING EVENTS IN ONE DAY: The Bikes Not Bombs Green Roots Festival will celebrate sustainable urban living in a park that was only saved from becoming a highway by the grassroots efforts of local communities. Cheer heroic Bike-A-Thon riders (or be one yourself) as they return from their ride to an outdoor gathering of environmental organizations, neighbors, and friends: featuring live street bands, food, pageantry, artisans, and thoughtful content on issues of environmental sustainability.
We are excited to embrace another year of concrete efforts that promote bicycle usage, peace and sustainable development!
Mission Statement: Lasting peace and social justice require equitable and sustainable use of resources. BNB provides community-based education and assists development projects with recycled bicycles, related technologies and technical assistance, as concrete alternatives to the militarism, over-consumption & inequality that breed war and environmental destruction. Our organization is part of a worldwide movement for peace and responsible stewardship of the earth.
