Update: BIG congrats to the Pedal Power Project & many other volunteers for pulling off a wonderful donation day! There were many awesome sights in a few short hours – the trailers and trucks loaded with bikes, the swarms of volunteers who carried them inside for distribution, and the swarms of refugees who carried them back out for keeps…. Here are a few favorites…
Give a day cause you give a crap 🙂 Sign up here to volunteer!
Join us on April 25 to help fix and donate bikes to approx 200 of Louisville’s refugees!

10-1 Wrenching (Beargrass Christian Church)
2 Presentation of bikes by Mayor Fischer (KY Refugee Ministries)
2-5 Mini maintenance and safety classes (KY Refugee Ministries)
There will be three stations, and bike recipients must visit each prior to receiving a bike:
– The safety station will be helmets, signaling, and basic traffic skills.
– The Tarc station will have several buses so that bike recipients can practice putting their bike on the bus racks.
– The FCCBikeWorks station will provide minor repair demonstrations.
Bikes can be donated beginning NOW to Beargrass Christian Church (4100 Shelbyville Road)!
