3029.0. "What to do with old bikes?" by ROCK::FEASTER (Bill...225-6259...HLO2-3/C11) Fri Oct 13 1995 00:06

    I am about to move, and have an old, damaged bike that needs a new set
    of forks, but is otherwise in fairly good shape.  Does anybody know of
    organizations that fix up bikes to give to disadvantaged people?  I saw
    one note in here for a group at Fort Devens, but that was from 1991.  I
    have also heard of an organization called, I believe, "Bikes not
    Bombs", which sends bikes to Central America, but I don't have a phone
    number or an address.  Any help would be appreciated.

    There is a note in here on Bikes Not Bombs someplace.  Its a reply to a
    similar type question from earlier this year.

3029.2Local Lions, perhaps?CONSLT::CORRIGANHag at the churnMon Oct 16 1995 11:125
     You might also try your local Lions chapter. They collect bikes
    to repair and sell for charitable donations. I've never done this
    but I see them advertising localy(Wilmington, Ma.)often.
