About
Bikes Not Bombs, founded 39 years ago, operates a retail Bike Shop & Training Center in Boston off the Southwest Corridor bike path and MBTA Orange Line. The shop sells refurbished donated bikes alongside new inventory including cargo, road, hybrid, kids, and e-bikes from brands including Rad-Power, Salsa, and Surly, with Shimano components. Profits from retail sales and repairs fund youth apprenticeships and international development work; the shop serves as both a mechanics training facility and community hub, with staff and paid apprentices reconditioning bikes while teaching hands-on skills.
