Title: Want to Donate Bicycles
Post by: Nick Danger on June 30, 2010, 02:17:08 PM
I have two ten-speed bicycles that I rescued from a neighbor's trash pile when they were moving. These bikes have been sitting for some time and need quite a bit of work, although probably basically not too bad because they were kept in the elderly couple's garage. I heard quite some time back that there was an organization (maybe more than one?) that takes them and fixes them up for kids that need them. If anyone knows who I can contact, please let me know. Thanks!

Tulsa Hub was doing that, I don't hear as much about them since they moved so not 100% certain they are still active but worth a try:

As far as I know, the HUB is still active.  They moved and although I've been to the new place, I don't know the address.
