No great wisdom to share -- we are just starting out ourselves -- but engaging at-risk kids is a big part of our motivation! Check out <a href="http://westtownbikes.org">westtownbikes.org</a> -- they are a big inspiration to us. Good luck!<div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi there,<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I work with at-risk youth in a rural northern community and
yesterday as I was tossing my sea foam green toilet at the dump I saw at least
6 bikes. I have been looking for something to engage some of my kids and I started
thinking about bike-cycling/community shops etc. I feel that this is a really
worthwhile project I just have no idea how to go about starting off – so I
am looking for support – I am going to check the lists and see what
advice is there, then I am going to start networking within my community. Any
words of wisdom would be appreciated!<u></u><u></u></p>
