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.<br><br>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 <a href="http://www.bikesnotbombs.org/" target="_blank">www.bikesnotbombs.org</a> for a schedule
of training rides and other pre-Bike-A-Thon events for registered
riders. Register at our website—<a href="http://www.bikesnotbombs.org/" target="_blank">www.bikesnotbombs.org</a>—or call

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.<br clear="all"><br><br><br><br>-- <br>Jasmine Laietmark<br>Director of Grassroots Fundraising and Events<br><br><a href="http://www.bikesnotbombs.org/" target="_blank">www.bikesnotbombs.org</a><br>
