What are "extra bikes and parts"?Just curious about those with extra bikes and parts.
Sometimes charity groups have ulterior motives and/or massive ego issues, so I tend to avoid them. In choosing to still be charitable or participate in giving during any season, I normally build at least three bikes a year to gift to someone who needs a bike.I was just wondering if any of you fix up older bikes and give to people you know or charity groups? Just curious about those with extra bikes and parts.
Your post reminded me about a tire-swap on a bike gifted to a friend on Christmas five years ago. It's still a largely bomb-proof coaster brake townie and has kept its looks as well. New blackwall Panaracer Pasela 27x1 tires and thorn-resistant tubes were installed while catching up with him yesterday afternoon. He's starting a new job just down the street from his place this week, so he's set for transpo.I like the person to person aspect better than one of the charity agencies.
