At Lincoln’s 4th annual Bikes Not Bombs drive on June 13, the Lincoln Recycling Committee collected 65 adult and children’s bicycles and $340 in cash donations, as well as a variety of bicycle parts such as tubes, tires, wheels, and forks. This is a 22 percent jump from the 53 bikes collected last year.

Many of this year’s donations will be heading to Ghana on July 21 when Bikes Not Bombs will host a “Stuff a Cargo Event” in its Dorchester warehouse. Please refer to the Bikes Not Bombs website for more information and other volunteer opportunities. Although many Lincolnites participated, there were also donations from residents of Acton, Bedford, Burlington, Carlisle, Lexington, Maynard, and Sudbury.

The Lincoln Recycling Committee (Laura Berland, Elizabeth Cherniack, Bernadette Quirk, and Susan Stason) thanks everyone who donated and also extends a grateful thank-you to the following individuals who donated their time to help flatten bikes and accept donations on a beautiful Saturday:  Thom Quirk, Darragh O’Doherty and Cecelia Nunez-O’Doherty.
