Just wondering if anyone else knew of any place providing bikes for people that needed donations of parts, time, mechanical work, etc.

I just found this page on Craigslist, it's a Scout working on his Eagle Scout .... He wants to donate 25 working bikes to people that could use them. I e-mailed him and offered him the mountain bike that's taking up space on my patio (Rescued it from the dumpster a few weeks ago!)

I know there's a bicycle collective south of downtown that was in need of a new place... the city won't let them run it out of their garage anymore, but I don't have a contact number or anything for them (Have an address... planning on swinging by there one of these days to see what's going on with them)

I'm taking in old bikes here in Colorado springs and fixing
them up..I'm not involved with any local bike shops, just doing this
myself and It's taking off.

If anyone in the Springs wants to help...get ahold of me at
