Bikes Not Bombs is a Jamaica Plain based non-profit organization working for environmental sustainability and community development. They operate a full service bike shop in JP where they achieve the goals of training inner city youth to become bicycle mechanics, learn good business skills and become effective community leaders.
Bikes Not Bombs works both locally and internationally to promote peace and social justice. Over the years they have shipped 46,000 bikes to community bike projects in over 13 nations in the developing world, including Ghana, South Africa, Tanzania, Central America and the Caribbean. For the working poor in developing countries, bikes are an inexpensive means of transportation and provide a reliable way of commuting to school, to work, and to market.
