Pedals For Progress é uma ONG semelhante à Re-Cycle. Enquando que esta última se foca apenas em África, Pedals For Progress recolhe bicicletas usadas e doa-as para instituições de caridade em mais de 29 países. Adicionalmente também recolhe e distribui máquinas de costura !!!
Conforme o site da Pedals For Progress, "Every year, affluent Americans buy 18 million new bicycles and discard millions of old ones, abandoning many more unused in basements, sheds, and garages. Most of these end up in our already overburdened landfills. Meanwhile, poor people overseas need cheap, non-polluting transportation to get to jobs, markets, customers, and schools.
Pedals for Progress has received, processed and donated over 130,000 bicycles, 2,000 used sewing machines and $10.8 million in new spare parts to partner charities in 38 developing world countries. Pedals for Progress isn't just donating used bicycles: It's also helping developing world economies by promoting self-sustaining bicycle repair businesses."
