I've been volunteering with this program, and having a great time.
I love getting the chance to do mechanical work on a variety of bicycles. Even if they all disappear, I've gotten a lot of bike repair experience.

It can be a little frustrating to work on donated bikes that didn't work too well even when they were brand new, but we are usually able to get things working well enough to be safe, especially the brakes. And it makes me appreciate how well my own bike works when I get back on it to go home.

If any of ya'll in the Atlanta area are interested, there are bike reconditioning sessions on Wednesdays from 7-9pm and Saturdays from 10-12pm at 604 Ponce de Leon Place in Decatur. No experience necessary--we are happy to provide on the job training!
