Pedals for Progress is a simple beast. We take unwanted bikes here and send them to where they are needed. But to do that, we need people to give us those bikes. It is during our spring and autumn collection campaigns that we gather up the inventory to ship overseas.

The new collection season is quickly approaching and we’re busily scheduling collection events around the area. In the twenty years we’ve been doing this, we’ve formed a lot of relationships with groups and individuals who contact us every year to run collections in their areas. However, we are always looking for more.

Our programs overseas have an insatiable appetite for good, quality bicycles they can afford. Those bikes, whether they be road or mountain bikes, are simply unavailable through normal retail channels to 99% of the people who need one. Such bikes can be found, however, gathering dust in garages, basements, and back yards across America, and we can get them there.

We’re looking for more individuals and groups who would like to work with us and sponsor collections. Help us meet the demand overseas. Help us keep our landfills free of tons of unwanted bikes. Help your neighbors find an ecologically sound way to rid themselves of their bikes.

Contact Bev at (908) 638 4811 or bev@p4p.org to schedule a collection with us. We’ll happily help you with the details. It’s easier than you might think.
