December Update

After five great years providing bicycles to those who don't have any, Bikes For Tykes has taken a break. Last summer it was announced that our shop building was being sold, and that we would need to move. With nowhere to go, we stashed our stuff - tools, bikes, workbenches, bike stands etc. - and went underground for awhile. During this time we aren't able to accept any more bike donations, because we simply don't have anywhere to put them.

But we're not dead.

While we aren't able to operate at the levels we did last year, we still function as a contact point for folks who don't know what to do with the bike that's been hanging in their garage for 20 years. We still get the calls, and I still answer them. In some unusual situations we still take a bike or two if we have a place for it (namely a kid who needs something now).

Bikes For Tykes will be back. Look for us to reappear in the Spring of 2008, based out of Bellevue. Stay tuned!
