Seacoast Pedal It Forward (SPIF), a SABR initiative, was started in spring 2024. Its mission is to grow and unite the cycling community by providing people with fair and equitable access to bicycles for recreation and/or transportation as well as keeping usable, fixable bicycles out of the landfill and at their highest use. SABR and SPIF promote bicycle riding as part of a healthy and active lifestyle.
