Bikes for the World 2026
2026-05-16 | Canal Place Heritage Park
Bikes for the World is back and waiting for you to donate your old bikes!

Have an old, repairable bike in your basement or garage taking up storage space? Want to put it to good use and make a difference? Donate it to the Cumberland Area Bikes for the World collection on Saturday, May 16th. Bikes will be collected at Canal Place from 10 am to 12 noon. They will also accept portable sewing machines (no table models please)! It is suggested that a voluntary donation ($10+) be given to help offset the cost of shipping bikes to both domestic and international locations.

Don’t have a bike but want to help? Monetary donations can be accepted the day of the drive as well. Your donation is tax deductible and can change someone’s life!

Check out these articles about the work Bikes for the World does from Cumberland Times-News here, here and here!
Be sure to check out this article on bike safety and how to get a free helmet or free lights for your bike.

In the meantime start getting those bikes out of your storage sheds, garages, and basements to donate them for a good cause!
