I think the essence of this lies in the fact that each person is to register and pay $5 to do so. Simple math says that this times one million will equal $5,000,000. I wish I thought of this. Bruce

I registered.

Remains to be seen if it's a scam.  Looks like it's done by people who are not aware that there are people who are already distributing free bikes (possibly by the million...perhaps we should be more organized and collectively compile our achievements somewhere..  another Bright Idea from Someone who Doesn't have Time to Do It Themselves....).  Either that or they are aware of us and don't care

Who is going to renovate those million bikes?  I try to look at everything as having the potential to be a good partnership for NBW.  This certainly could be, but I can't seem to find a non profit with that name or address.  Anyone can get a .org e-mail.

Certainly would like to see this take off, at least in the form that I imagine it could
