Faces of BNB
These Mayan children were photographed while perched on top of their farm's pedal-powered well water pump. Their family farm is located in a rural mountainous area about 30 minutes from San Andres Itzapa in Guatemala, where electricity is scarce. They purchased this bicycle-powered pump from Maya Pedal, an organization supported by shipments of bikes from Bikes Not Bombs. (See news below on a shipment that just went out, and more on the pedal-powered machines.) Carlos Marroquin, lead engineer of Maya Pedal, states "These machines are helping Mayan families afford to stay on their farms and maintain our traditional ways of life." (Photo by David Branigan)

Author Discussion TOMORROW! "Stop Signs: Cars and Capitalism on the Road to Economic, Social and Ecological Decay"  Thursday, May 19
7:30pm-9:00pm
at the Bikes Not Bombs Hub, 284 Amory Street, Jamaica Plain
Join us for an insightful and engaging discussion with Yves Engler and Bianca Mugyenyi, the authors of the book Stop Signs, which examines why, as a society, we are so enthralled by the automobile and what impact this has had on our economy and environment. We are excited to bring these authors to Bikes Not Bombs and provide an opportunity to discuss and reflect on how car-culture leads to war, inequality and environmental destruction. The book will be released in May 2011 from Fernwood Publishing and will be available for purchase at the event.
This event is co-sponsored by the On The Move Coalition. Light refreshments will be provided by Amir's Natural Foods. We hope to see you here!

563 Bikes Shipped to Maya Pedal in Guatemala! 
A mural painted on the wall at Maya Pedal shows their most popular machine, a pedal-powered dual purpose corn sheller and grain grinder. (Photo by David Branigan.)
Maya Pedal will utilize a portion of the bicycles to fabricate bicimaquinas (pedal-powered machines) that are used to de-grain and grind corn, pump water from up to 30 meters deep, de-pulp coffee, wash clothes, and more... all fueled by human power. This technology is so important because it enables people in rural areas to improve their productivity and standard of living without increasing their dependence on nonrenewable energy; this technology is so appropriate because it is composed of affordable and readily accessible bicycle parts that can be easily maintained and repaired locally - a brilliant option for rural development and autonomy. The remainder of the bikes will be refurbished and sold - providing options for affordable transportation to Guatemalans.
Here is a full view of the pedal-powered water pump in use by a farming family in Guatemala. (See also photo at the top of this news.) The bicycle at left pulls a rope with wooden washers up from plastic pipe which reaches the bottom of the well, circulating the rope over the pulley wheel at the top (made from a child-size bike). Water raised by the washers spills out into the horizontal orange pipe and fills the blue tub at right. The family has a stable of animals and fields of crops, and use this pump as their water source for both farm and household uses. (Photo by David Branigan.)

Enjoy an amazing day of cycling while raising critical funds to support Bikes Not Bombs’ unique bicycle-based empowerment work in Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean and right here in Boston! With our 15, 25 and 65-mile rides to choose from, there is something for everyone. All riders will receive a new Bikes Not Bombs t-shirt for 2011 and the top fundraisers will be eligible for great prizes, like a refurbished bike from Bikes Not Bombs' Retail Bike Shop!
We also encourage you to grab some buddies and start a team. The team that raises the most money and the team with the most first-time Bike-A-Thon riders will each receive a $250 gift certificate to celebrate at the Other Side Cafe. We already have 260 registered riders, which is over half way to our goal of 500, so don't miss out on Bikes Not Bombs' biggest and most fun event of the year!
Find out more and register today!
Dance party in the park! Enjoy live music, food, children's activities, and information booths from environmental and social justice groups. The festival is free, open to the public, and is also the afterparty for Bike-A-Thon riders. Read more on the festival website!
Bloco AfroBrazil in the sun on the field! (Photo by Eddie Martinez)  There's nothing like Marcus Santos and Bloco AfroBrazil to bring the samba party and get the whole crowd on its feet! Bloco AfroBrazil has performed at every Green Roots Festival to date and will be returning in 2011! Also returning is the Paa Seck Diery Band with traditional Senegalese drum and dance. Also note that you can take drum or dance lessons from Paa Seck at The Dance Complex or the Cambridge YWCA, and look for a CD release show in June.
Exhibitors & Vendors: We welcome you and your group or business to exhibit, making connections with the public and other groups, sharing your information and recruiting more help for your activities. The Green Roots Festival is focused on environmental sustainability within the framework of social justice. We welcome groups dealing with environmental issues including transportation, climate change, food production, energy, natural resources, green space, and much more. All groups working for social justice are invited, including activists on affordable housing, racial equality, peace building, youth empowerment, and more. Additionally, vendors of environmentally-responsible products may apply for a booth to sell items at the festival. Contact Exhibitor Coordinator Eric Supil at fest...@bikesnotbombs.org, or call 617-522-0222 x100 for Arik or Eric. Or read more and fill out the exhibitor application on the festival website!
Volunteers Needed to Sign Up for Bike-A-Thon Help!  Volunteers form the backbone of the Bike-A-Thon and Green Roots Festival, and we'll need help both beforehand and on the day of the event. Each year volunteers contribute by marking the routes, running the rest stops, corking difficult intersections along the rides, serving food, staffing the festival, serving as medical or mechanics ride support, assisting with set up and take down, and more! Some roles require special skills, like photography or medical training, and they have differing time requirements based on the schedule of the day.
Each volunteer also gets to share in the food that we have for returning riders and gets a 2012 Bikes Not Bombs t-shirt in addition to the fun of helping pulling off BNB's biggest event of the year!
To join the team, sign up online and then we'll be in touch to work out the details of your volunteer role.

Pedal Powered Generators and Alumni Program Update
The BNB Alumni program is up and running for the spring. In April we biked to Mel’s Hyde Park Bicycle Shop and learned about building low riders and running a Bike Shop, and did a scavenger hunt and writing workshop with The Greater Boston Bigfoot Research Center (826 Boston). The youth also rode decorated bikes in the Wake Up The Earth Parade and hit the city's newest bike lanes on a guided ride as part of the Boston Bike Week. To get involved with Alumni Programs visit Facebook.com/BNByouth or e-mail Jes...@bikesnotbombs.org to be added to the events mailing list!

NEWS OUTSIDE BNB
Bikes On The Blue Line, Expanded Hours!
Wednesday, May 18, 2011, state, city, local officials, and community organizations will join Transportation officials at Maverick Station to officially announce the Bikes on the Blue Line Pilot Program. The MBTA, in collaboration with the Chelsea Creek Action Group (CCAG) and MassBike initiated a six-month pilot project on the Blue Line beginning March 19, 2011 expanding bicycle access during rush hours. Bicycles will be allowed on the Blue Line at all times except from 7-9AM towards Bowdoin and 4-6PM towards Wonderland weekdays. The changes provides an additional two hours of bike access during peak directions (inbound in the morning and outbound in the afternoon), and an additional six hours of bike access in the reverse-peak. Bring your bike to the event, then you can take it on the Blue Line to downtown Boston DURING EVENING RUSH HOUR! Read more from MassBike at http://www.massbike.org/resourcesnew/bikes-and-the-mbta/
MassBike Seeks Office Space
It's generally a good thing to be a growing organization. For the first time in MassBike's history, we have three full-time staff positions, with the hope of expanding it to six by 2014. More staff means more time spent on bicycling advocacy and education aimed at making Massachusetts the best place in the nation to ride a bicycle. However, like a hermit crab seeking a new shell, our growth in staff and volunteers means we need to find a bigger office. While we are sad to leave our home at 171 Milk Street, we are also very excited at the prospect of finding a new shell. If you know of a space that might be a good fit for MassBike, we'd love to hear from you. We're looking for a location that is easy to get to from all areas of Boston and that has access to the T. We need a space that is around 1000 square feet or more. Amazingly good rent deals are also much appreciated. If you do know of an available space, please send an email to da...@massbike.org.

The People's Rally for Clean and Healthy Air
Send a message to Senator Brown: "Protect people not polluters!"
Friday, May 20th, 2011 at 12pm
15 New Sudbury Street, Boston, MA (In front of Scott Brownʼs office building, Government Center T-Stop)
On April 7, 2011, Senator Scott Brown voted to gut the Clean Air Act, threatening the health of our families, the economic strength of our communities, and the livability of our planet. Was it because corporate polluters poured over $1.9 million into his last campaign?
He voted to:
* Make Massachusetts families sick: coal pollution in MA alone kills 251 people and causes 471 heart attacks every year
* Decreases economic incentives for the development of clean and renewable technology that would provide local, green, and fair jobs in Massachusetts
* Secure soaring profits for corporate polluters at the expense of our familiesʼ health and the climate
Ask him to reverse his position next time this comes up for a vote!

Closest T-Stops: Green Line - Copley & Orange Line - Back Bay
We are told that there is no money for good jobs, good schools, good health care, good housing and clean energy. At the same time we are spending trillions of dollars on wars that leave us all unsafe but benefit weapons makers and oil companies. And we're all paying the price... veterans who come home looking for jobs, school children whose schools are closing, parents who must choose between the mortgage or rent and health insurance. One solution is to bring the war dollars home! Read more at http://warisacrime.org/content/boston-event-bring-war-dollars-home . For more information call, 888-400-1225

Wednesday, May 25th
7:00 p.m. Spontaneous Celebrations, 45 Danforth Street, Jamaica Plain, MA (downstairs)
We Shall Not Be Moved is an ongoing multimedia documentary project by Kelly Creedon, in partnership with City Life/Vida Urbana and the Bank Tenant Association. The project tells the story of a growing grassroots movement that is using the power of bringing people together to help keep families in their homes after foreclosure. Since 2008, City Life/Vida Urbana has focused on preventing the eviction of both former owners and renters resulting from a rise in foreclosures. The Bank Tenant Association was created to stop evictions through a combination of legal defense, collective action, and political protest. This discussion will be moderated by Susie Husted and will focus on the relationships that were built during the documentary project's development and exhibition.
