Allyson, my advice would be to be prepared for an overwhelming response. In our first three months we were given over 400 bikes so have a place to collect them. Local bike shops are a great source for used parts.

Hi there,

 

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!
