Hello Kyle,
Free Cycles Missoula is very interested in these cycles. We are ready to launch a community bike share program and we were planning to go the grant/foundation route to set up a fleet of 400 bikes. We bought our 28k building and 2 acre property last year and can now expand/grow programs.
Thanks and let me know a next step. We'd obviously have to work out shipping.. we do have some contacts in the trucking and rail industry

Hey folks,
Recently, I received a request from a bike rental operator located in the
panhandle of Florida looking for a new home each year for their used
bicycle fleet. It was described to me that about 700 bikes are available
for free on an annual basis - the owner only wants the bikes to be picked
up from their location. As described to me, the bikes are in working
condition and have about one season of rental wear and tear on them.
Currently, the owner is taking the bikes to the scrapyard as they are
replaced.
If anyone has any interest, please feel free to send me a note and I’ll
connect you directly with the owner of the bike tour company.
Best,
