Donate Your Bike and Make a Difference
Donate your unwanted bike and make a difference to someone in need. Bikes for the World works to provide affordable transportation to individuals in developing countries. The bikes help these individuals get to work and school, or in providing health and education services to low-income rural people.
I’m impressed that in the first five years (January 2005 – December 2009) of their charity work. They have donated over 40,000 bicycles to 11 different countries. I have no doubt that Bikes for the World is the largest bike reuse program in the country. Visit their benefits page to view their amazing statistics.
