A local resident noticed that many people are disposing of their children's bicycles at the dump and suggested that there is something far better to do with bikes your kids have outgrown. A program called Good Goes Around can recycle the bike and give it to a child who cannot afford to buy one.
Good Goes Around helps recycle "gently-used" children's and teen bicycles and distributes them to kids who can't afford to buy bikes. It is a non-profit model program pairing up local bike shops and social service agencies with those interested in donating bikes and volunteering their time. If you donate a bike they will present you with a receipt for a tax deduction.
Biking is a great form of exercise. As childhood obesity and diabetes continue at epidemic levels, you can begin to make a dent in these critical healthcare problems by helping children to experience the joys of pedaling. Good Goes Around will donate the tuned up bikes to children in need. If you have a bike you would like to donate bring to Danny's Cycles on Central Avenue.
