Bicycles serve as a versatile means of transportation. No costly fuel. Inexpensive repairs. Readily available.   Not only are bicycles useful in the immediate recovery process, they can also facilitate survivor employment in the longer term.

If you are considering sending a bike to a disaster relief or development hub for use by disaster responders or disaster survivors, it is important to only send a bike that still functions and is valuable in such a setting. Here we explain a few guidelines to help you decide if your bike is worth sending or if it's just junk. Good bikes have been stored indoors, are not covered in rust, and are not missing any parts. 

When disaster strikes, send bikes!
