A Public Service Announcement.
Kawanias in most major areas has a bike program reconditioning bikes all year and gives them away to underprivileged children at Christmas.
http://www.kiwanisbikes.org/ The web site show NV, but they have it here in my small town of FL as well.
Many of us are removing brand new seats, posts, etc that we will never use. I hope people will consider donating their unwanted accessories, no matter how big or small to this worthy organization. Our wimpy bells that most of us will throw away will make a kids that has never had one smile from ear to ear. Our seat will be totally "racer" to them.
I drive a pickup and every time I see a bike out at the street for trash pickup, it goes in the back of the truck to drop off at Kawanias. I have been involved with this program for years and it it a great program. They would love to have your takeoffs to make an old bike new again to go to a needy person.
