Thank you for your support!
Millions of used bicycles in good condition are discarded every year in the United States. In developing countries, used bikes are cherished as a valuable asset that can dramatically improve people's quality of life.
Bicycles are an appropriate technology that can provide affordable, non-polluting transportation. Bikes can help farmers distribute their crops more widely. They can help students and teachers have greater access to regional schools. Bicycles can even help doctors reach patients in remote villages.
Pedals For Progress helps make unwanted bicycles available to people in need. Bring your used bicycle in good condition, and a $10 donation, to the collection site listed below. (Your $10 tax deductible donation will help cover the cost of overseas shipping.) Don't let your unwanted bike go to waste! Support Pedals for Progress!
ON-GOING COLLECTION: April - September
