I volunteer with the community bike project in Bloomington, IN. If the bikes need a ride to a new home and if the moving truck costs are covered, I'd be willing to figure out how to schedule time to travel up to St. Paul and drive them to a place like the one mentioned in Chicago. Email me if there is interest in organizing this... we can also chat on the phone and will give my number if asked :).

Cheers, Nick
