Shifting Gears is a women-led, women-directed nonprofit in Bellingham, WA, creating welcoming recreation opportunities that encourage confidence, wellness, growth and joy for all women. It started putting on the bike swap in 2018, and, according to the release, 25 percent of each sale will assist with the funding the nonprofits biking and hiking programs.
