So we are now ensconced in our new digs (right beside the previous

that last year we took in at least 1,200 bikes! Many were
scrapped, some donated away, and the rest built up for sale. And
the last of those are selling fast. We'll exhaust our inventory
of ready bikes in the next week or so, then back to our usual game
of bikes going out the door as fast as we get them ready.A slight clarification:
The 1200 bikes collected in the 2009 calendar year the result of
two organizations. Re-Cycles is responsible for roughly 50% of these.Paul Wylie a re-Cycles volunteer
Thanks Paul. Overran my brain there...
In 2008 Cycle Salvation (http://cyclesalvation.org) became co-located
with us, and having them share the shop space is what allowed us to
get out of our dingy basement, and also into the brand new space.
While the stats of number of people served is for re-Cycles only, the
donations are indeed the total of what came into the shop when either
org. was open.
