The Cycle Recycle returns for the month of November

Don't throw away that repairable bike!

DON'T PUT THAT REPAIRABLE BIKE ON THE GARBAGE HEAP!!!For the 19th year, Bobbie and Tom Preston will be holding the Cycle Recycle, collecting repairable bikes to be refurbished and given to charitable groups to distribute at Christmas; . To date over 3000 bikes have been collected. This year the recipient organizations include No One Left Behind (which resettles Afghan refugees that worked for the US Government in their native countries) Oakland International High School’s Earn-A-Bike program, Marsh Creek Detention Center (which repairs and provide bikes to Cambridge Community Center in Concord and other Contra Costa County charitable programs as Christmas gifts for low-income kids), and to Trips for Kids in Marin (which repairs them for their Christmas giveaway to children of needy families). New and/or used bikes and trikes—in working order or repairable, or useable bike parts may be delivered to the side driveway of the Preston’s home at 1307 Larch Avenue in Moraga, throughout the month of November only. No skateboards or plastic bikes please; no need to call beforehand, but for more information contact Bobbie or Tom Preston at 925-376-8474. Thanks!
