Bike Works is a great organization. Lots of kids want bikes: What better way for them to get one than to go to Bike Works, start with a nice frame, and build the bike using donated new and second hand parts, under the tutelage of trained bike mechanics? They create their own bikes. Talk about sustainability - these kids learn how to build and maintain a valuable piece of equipment that will help them get around and be cool, to boot! (or to cleat shoe, as the case may be)
I've donated parts, including a VERY cool Italian "Sting-Ray" type bike, built in 1971. Banana seat, smaller front wheel,ape-hanger bars...and it was a ten speed! And Italian (think Maserati, not Fiat)! But I found it at a garage sale, in need of work, and never got to it. Now some kid is hangin' back on the bars, freak flag flyin', hummin' "Get out on a Highway..."
Donate to this organization; they're sooo deserving!

Oops, I wrote that a kid was riding "with their freak flag flyin'." Of course this isn't true, it was safely ensconced in a helmet.
