The Branchburg Rotary club collected 119 old bicycles that will be given to the group Pedals for Progress.
The bikes will wind up in countries where they'll still be put to good use.
Between 15 and 20 million new bicycles will be bought in the United States this year.
Typically, the old bikes wind up in a landfill.
The next bike donation event will be in Somerville at First United Methodist Church on Oct. 1.
