Well, I've got the itch. I really have too many bikes. most of them are cheap department store bikes, some are low end vintage. I also ended up with some kids bikes too. This year I'm riding in the Tour de Cure and I came up with an idea. I'm going to sell off some of my "extra" bikes on Craigslist to raise donations for my Tour de Cure team. so far I have listed 3 kids bikes for $15-$20 each and I put in my ad that a donation will be made in the name of the buyer. I hope this works and I hope to have more posted later. I've got a nice 1973 Campus Green 3 speed Breeze that I'd like to sell, a few small (24" wheels) MTBs and a Schwinn Caliente road bike with 24" wheels. The Breeze might sell for a fair amount if I write the ad properly and post good pics. I certainly will not ask $200 or $300 like the other 2 3 speed breezes on Detroit CL are listed for.
Anyone else riding in the Tour de Cure? anyone else flipping bikes as a fundraising strategy? I figure every dollar helps and it helps me to get some of these bikes to new homes where they will be used.
