<div><strong>Join us for the rescue of 500 bicycles!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>500 bicycles abandoned at Burning Man. A second life in Mexico. From Nevada to Tijuana, Chiapas, Oaxaca and Guerrero.
</div>
<div>We are the World Bicycle Forum 12 AC and, together with dozens of organizations — including Chicanxs Sin Fronteras, the Cicloactivist Collectives of Tijuana, San Diego and Ensenada, the  — and hundreds of volunteers, we are embarking on an extraordinary mission.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every year, at the end of the Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert, thousands of bicycles are left abandoned. For the second consecutive year, FMB12 has set out to rescue 500 bicycles, transport them to Mexico and give them a second life full of purpose.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"The bicycle is a means to reduce human suffering"
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why do we do it?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The bicycle is not just a means of transportation. It represents freedom, autonomy, dignity, inclusion and an opportunity to transform the lives of thousands of people. With your help, these bicycles will reach different social projects in Mexico.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>From Burning Man to Tijuana: 500 bicycles to empower migrants</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tijuana is known as being a "bottleneck" or "waiting" city, and recent US migration restrictions have transformed the dynamics of the border.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our central objective is to deliver bicycles to deported and repatriated migrant communities in Tijuana, Baja California, from throughout Latin America. The situation of these people is very difficult: they have no work and no money. Many are in a situation of great vulnerability, without economic resources, support networks or mobility options.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tijuana is known as the corner of Latin America. There, thousands of people try to rebuild their lives while facing enormous economic, social and emotional challenges. Since the beginning of 2025, Mexico has received more than 200,000 repatriated people, while shelters and care centers in Tijuana continue to work at the limit of their capacities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Donating a bicycle to a migrant person generates an immediate impact. A bicycle:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Reduces transportation expenses and allows those resources to be directed toward food and housing.
</li>
<li>Facilitates access to job opportunities.
</li>
<li>Makes self-employment possible through delivery and courier services.
</li>
<li>Allows travel to hospitals, shelters and government offices.
</li>
<li>Helps reduce stress and anxiety derived from the repatriation process.
</li>
<li>Restores the feeling of independence, autonomy and dignity.
</li>
</ul>
<div>A bicycle can represent the difference between remaining stuck or starting over.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Mobility for inclusion</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We will also promote the delivery of adapted bicycles for people with disabilities in different states of Mexico. This initiative has the support of comedian and activist Alexis "Ojitos de Huevo", who has joined this effort to promote inclusion and the right to mobility.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How much does it cost to change a life?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The total project cost is $10,285 USD ($180,000 MXN). This budget covers the rescue of the bicycles, transportation from Nevada, basic repairs and distribution to different points in Mexico.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This means that with just $20 USD ($350 MXN) per bicycle, we can rescue a bicycle and turn it into a new opportunity for someone else. The commercial value of a similar bicycle can be up to ten times greater.
</div>
<div><br />

</div>

</div>
<div><strong>More than 26 years building community</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This effort is possible thanks to the experience of the World Bicycle Forum 12 A.C., an organization with more than twenty-six years of work in favor of sustainable mobility, social justice and the construction of stronger, more supportive communities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On September 17th we will call for a historic day of volunteering to accompany the crossing of the 500 bicycles through the San Ysidro checkpoint, on the border between Mexico and the United States.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Be part of this story</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Each donation will help us travel thousands of kilometers and put these bicycles directly into the hands of those who need them most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every dollar counts. Every bicycle counts. Every kilometer counts. Every life counts.
</div>
<div><br />

<div>Thank you for pedaling with us.

<div><strong>¡Únete al rescate de 500 bicicletas abandonadas en Burning Man! </strong>
</div>
<div><strong> </strong>
</div>
<div>Una segunda vida en México. De Nevada a Tijuana, Chiapas, Oaxaca y Guerrero.
</div>
<div>Somos el Foro Mundial de la Bicicleta 12 A.C. y, junto con decenas de organizaciones — entre ellas Chinanxs Sin Fronteras, los Colectivos Cicloactivistas de Tijuana, San Diego y Ensenada, — y cientos de voluntarios, estamos emprendiendo una misión extraordinaria.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cada año, al finalizar el festival Burning Man en el desierto de Nevada, miles de bicicletas quedan abandonadas. Por segundo año consecutivo, el FMB12 se ha propuesto rescatar 500 bicicletas, trasladarlas a México y darles una segunda vida llena de propósito.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"La bicicleta es un insumo que mitiga el sufrimiento humano."
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>¿Por qué lo hacemos?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Porque la bicicleta no es solamente un medio de transporte. Representa libertad, autonomía, dignidad, inclusión y una oportunidad para transformar la vida de miles de personas. Con tu ayuda, estas bicicletas llegarán a distintos proyectos sociales en México.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>De Burning Man a Tijuana: 500 bicicletas para empoderar a personas migrantes</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tijuana ha tomado una dimensión particular debido a su condición de "ciudad tapón" o de espera. Las restricciones migratorias de Estados Unidos han transformado la dinámica de la frontera.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nuestro principal objetivo es entregar bicicletas a personas migrantes deportadas y repatriadas en Tijuana, Baja California, procedentes de distintos países de América Latina. La situación de estas personas es muy difícil: no tienen trabajo ni dinero. Muchas se encuentran en una situación de gran vulnerabilidad, sin recursos económicos, redes de apoyo o posibilidades de movilidad.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tijuana es conocida como la esquina de Latinoamérica. Allí, miles de personas intentan reconstruir sus vidas mientras enfrentan enormes desafíos económicos, sociales y emocionales. Desde el inicio de 2025, México ha recibido a más de 200,000 personas repatriadas, mientras que los albergues y centros de atención de Tijuana continúan trabajando al límite de sus capacidades.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Donar una bicicleta a una persona migrante genera un impacto inmediato:</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Reduce el gasto en transporte y permite destinar esos recursos a la alimentación y la vivienda.
</li>
<li>Facilita el acceso a oportunidades laborales.
</li>
<li>Hace posible el autoempleo mediante servicios de reparto y mensajería.
</li>
<li>Permite trasladarse a hospitales, albergues y oficinas gubernamentales.
</li>
<li>Contribuye a reducir el estrés y la ansiedad derivados del proceso de repatriación.
</li>
<li>Devuelve la sensación de independencia, autonomía y dignidad.
</li>
<li>Una bicicleta puede representar la diferencia entre permanecer inmóvil o volver a empezar.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Movilidad para la inclusión</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>También impulsaremos la entrega de bicicletas adaptadas para personas con discapacidad en diferentes estados de México. Esta iniciativa cuenta con el respaldo del comediante y activista Alexis "Ojitos de Huevo", quien se ha sumado a este esfuerzo para promover la inclusión y el derecho a la movilidad.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Movilidad para las montañas del sur de México</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Las bicicletas también llegarán a comunidades de Chiapas, Oaxaca y Guerrero, donde miles de familias enfrentan enormes dificultades para trasladarse a la escuela, al trabajo o a los servicios de salud.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>¿Cuánto cuesta cambiar una vida?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>El costo total del proyecto es de $10,400 USD ($208,400 MXN). Este presupuesto cubre el rescate de las bicicletas, el transporte desde Nevada, las reparaciones básicas y la distribución en distintos puntos de México.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Esto significa que, con apenas $20 USD ($360 MXN) por bicicleta, podemos rescatar una bicicleta y convertirla en una nueva oportunidad para alguien más. El valor comercial de una bicicleta similar puede ser hasta diez veces mayor.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>500 - bicicletas a rescatar
</div>
<div>$20 - USD por bicicleta rescatada
</div>
<div>200K+ personas repatriadas desde 2025
</div>
<div>26+ años construyendo comunidad
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Más de 26 años construyendo comunidad</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Este esfuerzo es posible gracias a la experiencia del Foro Mundial de la Bicicleta 12 A.C., una organización con más de veintiséis años de trabajo en favor de la movilidad sostenible, la justicia social y la construcción de comunidades más fuertes y solidarias.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>El próximo 17 de septiembre convocaremos una jornada histórica de voluntariado para acompañar el cruce de las 500 bicicletas a través de la garita de San Ysidro, en la frontera entre México y Estados Unidos.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Forma parte de esta historia </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cada donación nos ayudará a recorrer miles de kilómetros y a poner estas bicicletas directamente en las manos de quienes más las necesitan.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cada peso cuenta. Cada bicicleta cuenta. Cada kilómetro cuenta. Cada vida cuenta.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gracias por pedalear junto a nosotros.
