Despite the chilly weather, a brave group of volunteers showed up to help load the container with 516 bikes, 436 adult MTbs and 80 20" BMXs, and a good supply of spare parts!
We plan to load another container with bikes for the Vijana Vocational Center in Arusah Tanzania on Saturday, December 5th, from 10am to 3pm at 2434 S. Western Avenue.
We 'sold' 100-150 small bikes to local families during this event, lots of smiling faces!
Just in time for the holidays: we're selling small children's bikes (3-7 years old) for $2!
• All of the bikes are donations we have received, they are used but in great condition.
• Children must be present at time of purchase, there is a limit of one bicycle per child.
• Below is typical sizing ...
12" wheel = 3-5 year-old child
14" wheel = 4-6 year-old child
16" wheel = 5-8 year-old child
