yikes,   my suggestion is that you step up the program and make the earning of  a bike real work. Like build two the first one becomes closer to being a rideable bike and they can have the second, also put a limit on the number of bikes per mouth or year that can be gotten that way.

First off, we need to recognize that none of us is perfect and each of us has the capacity to do something worthwhile, even if life has been especially rough so far. I'm not here to judge anybody. If you're nice to me and help build the organization, we can work together.

Then again, I'm a volunteer. I don't owe you anything. If you want help getting your ride together, you'd better be respectful to everybody around here. We want everybody to learn to fix bikes and apply that knowledge toward putting more bikes onto the streets. If you want to join in that effort, there's always room, but if you've got a bigger problem to deal with, go do that first.
