Thanks to everyone who has donated bikes for the Fall drive to support the Christian Help Toy Drive coming up in December. We've collected over 200 bikes, 44 of which came in on one day. We now have about 50 of them ready to send out but hope to rehab at least 20 more to beat last year's contribution of 70 bikes. If you or your group would like to do a service project please contact us at 304-276-0213 and schedule a time to come in. This week would be a great time to do it, since it's pretty quiet with students gone home for the Thanksgiving Holiday. Most of the work doesn't require bike skills. It's mostly cleaning and primping the bikes to make them look like something a kid will be excited to find under their Christmas tree. The final days before Dec 17 will be extremely busy as we give bikes their final check and transport them to the Armory for the event and vehicles will be greatly needed and appreciated.
Also, if you know someone who needs a bike and wouldn't be able to get one otherwise you can contact us also since we have extras. Thanks again to the entire community for the tremendous support we've received every year - and thanks for relieving traffic in Morgantown by using sustainable transportation.
Nick
