Bikes Not Bombs is a Boston-based nonprofit that uses bicycles as a vehicle for social change to advance economic mobility for Black and other marginalized people in Boston and the Global South. The organization refurbishes thousands of bicycles each year and runs local and global programs that blend skill development, employment opportunities, and sustainable transportation. Through these programs, it mobilizes youth and adults to become leaders in their communities. Its work is situated in the nonprofit sector and centers on delivering mobility and economic opportunity to underserved populations through bike-based initiatives. In March 2025, Bikes Not Bombs began hiring paid Youth Apprentices who receive hands-on training in bike mechanics, entrepreneurship, and career development.
