Bikes Not Bombs

For over 25 years, Bikes Not Bombs has been a nexus of bike recycling and community empowerment both in lower income neighborhoods of Boston and in the nations of the Global South. 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, and inequality that breed war and environmental destruction. It recycles over 5,000 bikes each year and its programs involve young people and adults in mutually respectful leadership development and environmental stewardship.
