Andrew and I spent today in a cube van and Gord in his pickup, speeding around the valley visiting as many of the pioneering good folks who responded so quickly to the call and gathering up their donated bikes as we could fit.
By the end of an inspiring day we now have;
17 mountain bikes
17 kids bikes
14 ladies bikes
12 mens road bikes
9 sets of wheels
8 frames
7 classic/vintage bikes, including a 1949 Humber bicycle
4 helmets
1 tricycle
plus loads of tires/saddles/pedals/fenders etc
With those and Andrew's original 4 there's now only another 300 or so and the first container will be ready to go...
Thanks so much to all the generous souls we met, who are trusting us to give their treasured bicycles a new lease of life.
