Donated Bicycles Needed
Do you have a bicycle in your garage that you no longer use? Well, here is the perfect opportunity to help a family in need by donating your bicycle to the Bicycle Exchange. Bicycles of all sizes - from tricycles to full sized bicycles for adults - are accepted. Flat tires and broken or missing parts are no problem! Volunteers can fix almost anything, except for restoring paint and reversing corrosion.
Before donating your bike, ask yourself:
• Could an experienced mechanic make this bike functional and safe in one hour or less?
• Is the bike substantially free of rust and corrosion?
• Is the bike clean enough that you could offer it as a gift without embarrassment?
If the answers are all “yes” then the Bicycle Exchange can accept your bicycle. Please clean up your bike before donating it so they can focus on repairs.
Bicycles can be donated on the second and fourth Saturday of each month between 10:00 am and 3:00 pm at: 2566 Leghorn St. in Mountain View.
For more information on the Silicon Valley Bicycle Exchange, see bikesiliconvalley.org. Questions? Contact Shelli Krunic, skrunic26@gmail.com.
Bicycle Repair Day
Saturday, July 24, 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
2566 Leghorn St., Mountain View
Open Door Church is partnering with the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition, to provide families and individuals in need with a source of simple transportation by repairing and donating used bicycles to partner community service organizations.
Volunteers are needed to staff 15 repair stations. Each station will repair/clean one bike a time. Stations can be staffed by a parent and a child, a family or two adults. For the safety of the volunteers, it is the policy of the Bicycle Exchange that a parent or legal guardian must accompany volunteers under age 18. Each participant will be asked to sign a liability release form. Note: Volunteers must sign-up prior to the event. To sign up, contact Shelli Krunic, skrunic26@gmail.com.
