Townships and families gave their old bikes a new life!
Both
Hopewell and Lawrence Townships were able to donate dozens of unclaimed bikes
to Pedals for Progress.
Many local families also brought their extra bicycles to ETS so that Pedals For Progress could provide communities in Africa, the Pacific Islands, Latin and Central America with low-cost, reliable transportation. 87 bikes were donated along with $500 to help cover shipping costs. Pedals for Progress has collected almost 100,000 bikes in the past ten years.
