Old Bike/parts in Your Garage? Donate it to Burrows Bike Garage

Burrows Bike Garage is in need of bikes (or even parts of bikes).  Our supply is running low this year.
 
The Burrows Bike Garage is a program which teaches people in the community to build and repair their own bikes and is overseen by the Burrows Central Residents Council.
Last year we gave away 80 free bikes, fixed many flat tires, and gave away hundreds of used tires and tubes.  This year so far we have given away 90 bikes which is approximately 4 – 5 bikes per week.
The bike garage is now looking for donations of used bikes in any condition.  These will either be repaired or used for parts for this program.  Why put your old bike in the landfill?  Recycle, Reuse!
Please call Dave at 586-4713 or call the Burrows Resource Centre at 582-2540.
Funding to establish the Burrows Bike Garage was provided by Families and Communities Together (FACT).
