We donated children's bikes to Urban Health Plan's physical activity day in the Bronx on June 7.
Here is one of the happy winners!
Our youth ride club kicked off its spring season on April 27. Click on this photo to see a short
video of the group heading out from LIC.
As part of their corproate Impact Day on June 6, we had 30 volunteers from Deloitte help us get ready
for the summer at LIC. They stripped and sorted unusable bike parts and helped fix up some kids bikes.

We've been busy this spring!
As the photos show- lot's of good things have been happening at Recycle-A-Bicycle.
We refurbished and donated 28 bikes for charity giveaways, co-sponsored two events for
Bike Month,
had a film shown in the Bike Film Festival, 14 students completed their internships in our retail stores, and for the spring ride season we had on
average 25 youth per trip. We are so grateful to our donors, volunteers and partners who help us to make this all possible.
Upcoming event:
- June 21, 1-4pm, Pearl Street between Front and Plymouth Streets, it's the DUMBO Summer Celebration for Kids.
DOT will be distributing free helmets, Bike NY will be offering "Teach Your Child to Ride" class, we will
be doing free bike safety checks for kids and Paint
Across America will be making a mural- incorporating recycled bike parts!

With the help of volunteers and some of our student interns, we made about 700 bicycle spoke flowers
with kids at the Grand Central Earth Day Festival April 18-19.
The Inaugural LIC Bike Parade May 10 at Socrates Sculpture Park was a great success- we had over 400
attendees! After receiving free safety checks and tune-ups as well as decorating bikes with recycled materials, everyone rode to Queensbridge
Park.
Thanks to the generous support of FUJI America and the medical and dental staff of Woodhull Hospital,
we've been able to add 14 new bicycles to our ride fleet. Thank you so much for your generosity!
