Dear L.J.,

You recently contacted us about creating your own BWB chapters and we are excited to have you join our team! We wanted to let you know that we are making plans for Bike Month which takes place between May 25th and June21st. In June we are planning to have a Bikes Without Borders Family BikeRide. The idea is that it would be similar to a Terry Fox Run but the focus would be on biking a specific route. It would be a fun ride, not a race by any means. For fund raising you could charge a fee for entry into the ride, and/or there is also the option of having riders get sponsors for every kilometer they ride, or just for participating in the ride no matter how far you are able to ride. Give this event idea some thought, you can do it around a high school track, or anywhere that works best for your community. Some other suggestions are to have people decorate their bikes or wear costumes etc.

We are just in the initial planning phases of the BWB Family Bike Ride but we would like to encourage you to run a similar event in your own community. Bikes Without Borders will send you more information on the progress of our event in Toronto with a confirmed date and location as soon as possible. Our hope is to create a cross country bike event in support of Bikes Without Borders, and we would love you to join us in this venture!

Bikes Without Borders’ current focus is on providing new bikes (at an affordable price) for the developing world and that is why we are no longer going to be putting our efforts towards bike drives, but we can put you in touch with organizations that do bike drives if you are still interested in hosting such an event.

Thank you again for your interest in Bikes Without Borders and expect to hear more from us soon! If you have any questions, or suggestions in regards to the event please feel free to email

Sincerely,
The Bikes Without Borders Team Toronto, ON
