For the last two years, UF volunteers have refurbished and donates bikes to children in a distressed Gainesville community, Linton Oaks. I request donations of used bikes and parts for this event on March 30th, 2013. Many children in this area have never had the opportunity to own a bike, either.

With your help, we can share our passion for bikes and improve the quality of life of our neighbors.  Any bikes and parts you can donate, no matter the condition, will contribute to refurbishing and repairing these bikes for use.  Bikes and donations will be picked up by event organizers at your convenience.

Volunteers are very welcome, especially with knowledge of bike maintenance. If you would like to donate or participate, please contact me, Emmy Richards, emmyrichards@ufl.edu or by calling 912-257-9919.
