The Mercer County Planning Department and the Mercer County Park Commission are hosting a bike drive for the benefit of the Boys & Girls Club Bike Exchange. This non-profit run by 50 volunteers collects, conditions, and sells used, quality bikes to people in the Trenton and Mercer County area.
Since 2009 the Bike Exchange has repaired, reconditioned and sold over 27,000 donated bikes, raising more than $1.6 million for the Boys & Girls Club after-school programs which serve over 700 children daily. Over the past several years the Bike Exchange has given away approximately 300 bikes annually to youth in Trenton and urban areas throughout New Jersey.
The Bike Exchange also trains interested students in bike repair through their internship program.
Drop off your bikes at either the Ranger Headquarters in Mercer County Park in West Windsor or the Historic Hunt House, 197 Blackwell Road, Pennington.
