Time for a chuckle.

40+ bikes went out Friday! The volume reminded us of the old Bikes for Syria days. We are excited to be working with The Fitzpatrick Collaborative in Pepperell, MA -- a model community center for towns everywhere. The Fitz is housed in a former school and has classes and all sorts of resources available to the community. Thank you Alyssa A. Vautier, Programs and Marketing Administrator, and Adam for driving and loading.

These bikes were originally donated by Ruth Benedict and Jonas Taub, Dana Colson, Justin Cox and family, Rob and Sandy Hamm (Emily Hamm Daigle), Allie Kenney, Shayla Loveland, Jeff Powell, Carl Querfurth and Tory McCagg, Judy Mortner, Ashley Richardson, Brian Rohde, Jared Seaver, Gary Spykman, Andrew Steere, and Aaron Turcotte. Thank you all for making lots of kids and adults in Pepperell, MA, very happy this spring.

It's Spring and the Robins have returned. No eggs yet, but soon.
If only they'd nest in unfinished bikes... *sigh*

Some interesting insights into the bike industry. https://www.npr.org/2026/03/29/nx-s1-5746807/trump-bike-children-competition-tariffs-opposition?utm_campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&fbclid=IwY2xjawQ2WWZleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeIlj8wd6OSeTQ3MsYABAQn7bcJRC2xtRkwhhfBZC9o9H0N_RBqlTQXQCKKF8_aem_inAb57e7zop1J587HUUvbA

Nearly all the bicycles sold in the United States are made overseas. An Indiana company set out to change that — and it's seeking a push from the Trump administration's tariffs.

PSA: Do not buy bikes like this. They are made to snap together. They are essentially unsafe and completely unrepairable.
Some parts can be harvested, but basically what you're seeing here is scrap metal with tires.

We generally don't shill, but Ocean State Job Lots in Peterborough has some great deals on kids helmets right now.
