Bikes Not Bombs Announces Adult Earn A Bike

Written by Boston Biker on Sep 24

This is great news for adults looking to get into cycling but having a hard time affording a bicycle.

From the email:

Dear Friends,

Not a day goes by without a customer walking into our Bike Shop who depends on their bike but does not have the resources for repairs or a new bike.

It’s not just lack of financial resources that prevent folks from using bicycles for everyday transportation, it’s much more than that. We live in a society where systematic injustices create unequal access to opportunities.

That is why we are excited to announce the launch of Adult Earn-A-Bike.

Run by the Bike Shop, our newest program is for anyone who identifies as low income, formerly incarcerated, a recent immigrant, and/or living in an area underserved by public transportation.

We’ve already had 6 students graduate from the program with bikes, helmets, locks, lights and basic maintenance skills but there is so much to be done to make sure Adult Earn-A-Bike continues to be successful.

We’ve proven we can build effective programs that make biking more accessible for those who depend on bikes for transportation. Now we ask for your help in building Adult Earn-A-Bike to transform the lives of lower-income adults in Boston.

For Bikes Not Bombs,
Jodi
