if you don't have money but can produce plenty of volunteers to help you could keep the bikes in the USA and start a communtiy "yellow bike" program or donate them to an existing program in another area.

Subject: [TheThinkTank] Bikes for Crates

Hi Thinktank...
is anyone out there doing any crates to Africa or elsewhere currently?

we have been asked to participate in such things before and the stars never aligned, but now we are in a situation of needing to downsize our storage substantially. Please contact me if there is anything going on, especially if its in the Northeast.... we could potentially contribute anywhere from 1-300 bikes, but we know little about how such projects operate.... we are all volunteer and dont have any budget to assist... just bikes.
