    Ready to ride bike !

    I had heard about bikes not bombs through a friend. Went there for the first time yesterday to get my second hand bike looked at. The staff was friendly over the call and in person and I felt welcomed :). JR thoroughly examined the bike, mentioned to me about the right size of bike for me. showed my how to fix the wheel right. filled some air in the tires and oiled the chain. also they didn't charge for it. My bike is ready to ride it and am very happy with their service. I would recommend a visit to anyone who needs a bike service or even to know more about bikes in general. thank you

    Bikes Not Bombs is a community enterprise which has been serving Boston and world since the early 80s. I buy all my bike stuff here because it meets my needs in terms of price, sustainability and in contributing towards the movements for Justice and Peace. You can trust them to set you up with a bike or fix the one you've got.

    I love my blue cannondale and had it shipped back from Colorado. I thought it needed new inner tubes or even tires and a full tuneup. I have been dreading to take it in bc I thought there'd be a huge bill but Kareem took the time to show me it just needed the back brake adjusted as it was pressing on the tire, adjusted my handle bars, greased up the gears and saved me a ton of money. So grateful and can't wait to enjoy a long bike ride this weekend!

    I LOVE BIKES NOT BOMBS! There, I said it. I love them for being one of the most accessible, inexpensive, conscious and progressive bike organizations around. 1) Affordable "reconditioned bicycles-- basically used bikes that have been refurbished by people who know what they are doing. Plan to spend anywhere from $250-500, depending on the style, make, and overall condition of the bike. Yes, that is not DIRT cheap, but it's a steal for the quality you'll get. And they sell new bikes too! 2) Top notch repairs! Yes, top notch because they will do the repairs that no one else will touch, or other shops will try to talk you out of. More than just tune-ups... they'll talk to you about your bike, walk you through it, and teach you something without making you feel like an idiot. 3) Bike mechanics classes for beginners through advanced levels! So you can learn to be self-sufficient. 4) All those random parts you have trouble finding anywhere else. These guys have buckets and buckets of things to poke through, and since most stuff is used, you'll get it for a bargain most of the time. 5) All of the other amazing work the organization does outside of this bike shop-- They train youth on bike mechanics to keep them off the street, and allow them to participate in their Earn-A-Bike program, which allows kids to put in shop hours in exchange for a bicycle. They also ship bicycles to communities in Ghana, Tanzania, South Africa, and Central America as part of the Village Bicycle Project. They have hundreds of volunteer opportunities for YOU to help out with fixing bikes, supervise outings for the Girls in Action program, or help prepare bikes for shipment, among other things. Basically, this is just one of those organizations that I love to support and send business their way. So if you need a good and RELIABLE used bike, an obscure part, or a tune up, bring it here first and support all of the amazing work that BNB is doing.
