fix it up. We then sell it to them at a reasonable price when it's
done. It's nice because the person learns something and also has
something invested in the bike. On the flip side, bikes take longer
to get done and you'll need a good sized group of volunteers,
sometimes almost one volunteer per person.--Ryan Bike Saviours, Tempe, AZ
How do you keep track of all the bikes-in-progress? If someone
doesn't complete theirs in one shift does it just sit taking up space
waiting for them to return someday?
I take it the groups here that are not worried about selling bikes
pay their rent and expenses (if applicable) in some other ways...
