Volunteers from Recycled Cycles spent the day last week at the Hamilton County Fairgrounds doing final inspection on 365 restored bicycles.
The crew worked all year repairing donated bikes at its repair site at 310 E. Main St. (State Road 32), behind Big Hoffa’s BBQ in Westfield.
The bikes will be offered to deserving families at the Good Samaritan Network’s (GSN) “TOWER” partnership program with the Hamilton County Jail for transportation to jobs. Bikes will also be distributed to children at GSN’s annual Christmas Distribution from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 14 at the Hamilton County Fairgrounds, 2003 Pleasant St., Noblesville.
The volunteers continue to accept donations of used bikes at the workshop to fill orders for next Christmas and yearly programs to support clients to work. If bikes cannot be safely restored, parts are used to fix other bikes.
You may leave used bikes outside the shop or drop them off during morning work hours. You can also bring the bikes to the GSN office, located at 12933 Parkside Drive, Fishers.
