any suggestions for a place to send low-income folks? i could do some research, but it seems like y'all are looking for something to do... i don't know if the community bike network is open/has funding? i've never been to bike pirates? is bike chain for students exclusively? would shops downtown get annoyed with people coming in to use the pump? any other places i'm forgetting?
thanks!
Bike Pirates is prolly a good place to suggest...but they are only open a couple days a week. Any shop that doesn't have a pump for public use and/or be willing to pump up folks tires for free is not a shop worth recommending to anyone.
