I found this in this Morning's NJ Star-Ledger on the front page no less.

Bike shop in Asbury Park serves as after-school volunteer activity for kids (http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2010/11/bike_shop_in_asbury_park_serve.html)

It's a good article promoting cycling interest, cycling advocacy and specifically Second Life Bikes used bike shop in Asbury Park. IMHO, it's a step in the right direction for promoting cycling and reusing/recycling of bikes. It's not incredibly in-depth, but someone on the NJSL staff is interested in promoting a cycling lifestyle. :thumb:

Love this article! I may have to check out Second Life Bikes one of of these days when I'm down the shore. Been thinking of a used MTB; this may be the place to shop.

That kid in the blue glasses is fast and has a super smooth pedal stroke. He does fast training rides with adults.

That seems to be a similar organization. I wish I knew of one closer to Newark area. Anyone hear of one?
