Hello everyone,

I am still accepting certain bikes. I have plenty of children's bikes wheel size 20" and down,
I am currently accepting 24" wheel size and up.
Please, no bikes that have been left outdoors, it is not worth the cost to repair the bicycle that has been in the elements. TY
Scott

UPDATE: we found a chair from one of the wonderful members here! Thank you all for your love and prayers, dad is currently napping but we will share them with him when he wakes up.

Hi everyone! This is Emily, Scott’s daughter. My dad was in a bad mountain biking accident over the weekend and has some broken and bruised ribs.

We are looking for some help finding a power lift reclining chair to either borrow or buy. We’ve had no luck at any of the major retailers since it is a holiday weekend.

If anyone has one we can borrow for a few weeks or buy off you we would be so grateful.

Obviously, he won’t be working on bikes for a while, but keep your eyes on the page for when he starts back up. As always, thank you for your support!

Hello everyone,I would like to thank everyone on a very successful bike distribution/gifting week.This week we posted and gifted 36 bicycles to the community. This is absolutely fantastic.
I would like to thank everyone on a very successful bike distribution/gifting week.
I am reaching out to all of you again to ask for your help.
My goal is to start providing youth bicycle helmets to everyone I give a bike to.
I've reached out to several bicycle helmet companies but have yet to hear back.
I am hoping that from the generosity of this group we can come up with the monies and donations to provide this necessity to all youth writers.
There are links to the recycled rides go fund me page as well as the Amazon page in the featured area at the top of this group. Anything you can donate would be gratefully appreciated. Also if you were out and see helmets at a reasonable cost please do not hesitate to contact me or pick them up and drop them off to me.
Thank you all for your continued support and I really hope we can make this happen.
Sincerely
Scott Starkweather
