“Make a Stranger Smile”
The PMA Bike Ride is essentially a pizza party for the hungry on the street and you do not need a bike to join. More than just feeding pizza though, we aim to acknowledge the voice, value and humanity of those often looked down upon.
the PMA Bike Ride non profit was started by Joe Cox June 24, 2016, PMA means positive mental attitude. We believe there is too much negativity in the world and we must do everything we can to spread PMA and be the change.
To date there have been at least 310 "PMA Bike Ride" events in philadelphia (there are 4 events minimum a month) and we have given out at least 6,610 pizzas to the hungry on the streets or 52,880 slices and spent over 53,000 (based on 8 dollars a pizza average) grassroot dollars. We wish to Bike cross
country doing The PMA Bike Ride ASAP to raise awareness not only of the growing homeless problem but more so the complicity of others. We would like a Pma Bike Ride in every neighborhood in the U.S! We will give anyone in the U.S. 50 dollars to start their own PMA Bike Ride eventually we will give full starter kits.
