Trike needed for autistic youth (adult size)
Hello, friends!
A Sopo volunteer is in need of an adult-sized tricycle for his thirteen year old son who is autistic. He'd like for his son to be able to get in on the fun of riding bikes, but an ordinary bicycle is a no go. The family doesn't have a lot of money to spend, so I'm writing to ask if there's anyone out there with.. *a trike to donate, *ideas about where to get a quality trike for cheap, *and/or money to donate to the cause. The trike doesn't need to be in great shape, since this volunteer is rather handy. All contributions to Sopo are tax deductible.
Additionally, we are working on a trike for another person who has a disability, and we'd like to be able to continue to help out more folks in need of alternative bicycles. If you are interested in supporting Sopo in this or if you have ideas about where to find resources to make this sustainable, please let me know!

"It takes courage to love, but pain through love
is the purifying fire which those who love
generously know. We all know people who are
so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves
up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing,
receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is
a mere living death."
Eleanor Roosevelt

Hello Rachael,
The Oberlin Bike Co-op has two adult trikes, so we could probably send you one, and we can probably pay for the shipping ourselves, but since we are a cooperative run by students you might have to wait a week before hearing whether the proposal passes. We cannot send both however, because one is used by disabled persons in our community.
Jonathan
The Oberlin Bike Co-op is located at 154 N. Main St. (Rt. 58) in Oberlin, around the back of Keep Cottage on the Oberlin College campus. Our hours are 1pm-4pm everyday and 7pm-10pm on Sunday- Thursday nights. Call us at (440) 775-5351, write us at Wilder Hall Box 25, Oberlin, OH 44074, and visit our webpage at www.oberlinbikecoop.org.
