Bellows Falls Community Bike Project Pedals to the People!

 

The Bellows Falls Community Bike Project is a small 2 person shop with an extensive network of community volunteers.  They handle only used bikes, refurbishing the bikes to sell to support the project, or using them through several programs for kids bikes such as after school programs where kids learn to work on their bikes.  They also hold bike workshops, group rides, and have a bicycle wheelchair for taking seniors out for rides.  They've just celebrated their 10th anniversary.

BFCBP is holding a fundraiser Pedals to the People! for the next month,  Riders sign up with mileage goals they choose and have friends sponsor them.  They have a goal of $10,000, and are currently at $2,410.

If you'd like to know more about BFCBP, their website is at:
