Thank you all so much for your generous support of Bikes Not Bombs' 25th Anniversary Fundraiser and Carl Kurz Send-off!

Chefs Brian Sway and Amir Sedhom together with Vanguarden Farm provided amazing food!

The music by Second Line Social Aid & Pleasure Society Brass Band and Sol y Canto was brilliant, the framed historic photos and the slideshow reflected some familiar (albeit younger) faces, and the general sense of celebration and goodwill moved us to tears. As with all of BNB’s work, this event was possible with the work of many committed volunteers.

BE A SPONSOR!

If you have not yet made a gift in honor of BNB’s 25th and Carl’s leave for new adventures but would like to, we will certainly put it to good work right away! See the sponsorship page.

Check out pictures from the event by Sheryl Lanzel.

The fabulous commemorative 25th Anniversary poster (image above, signed by Carl) by Allison Bamcat from the PARTY is still available on 12" x 18" posters - only a few left, folks - now on sale for a sweet $10 at the BNB Bike Shop or Hub.
