Now is a great time to donate your bike to Roll it Forward. We're collecting bikes in the fall so that there's enough time during bike shops' "off season" to make sure they get repaired in time for distribution this coming Spring. So even if your summer riding season is over, we're still collecting donated bikes through December!
-All you need to do is take your bike to any of the donation locations that we've partnered with: Eastern Mountain Sports, Wheelworks Cycling Centers, or Giant Cycling World. These shops are offering a valuable coupon with your usable donation. After checking over your bike and performing some basic repairs, they'll get the bikes back to our program. We'll match your bike with someone who can use it. Bike education and a helmet are a part of the deal.
-We need all kinds of bikes in all sizes, for adults and kids. But please, no junker bikes or bikes that are beyond repair.
-Keep your bike out of a landfill and ROLL it FORWARD!

If you are a resident, you can take your bike directly to the recycling center and they are setting aside bicycles for our program to pick up.
