I have two suggestions, maybe three for donating your 3-speed schwinn - one
of my favorite models of utility/transportation bikes.

Bikes de Pueblo fixes bikes for people for free and helps folks get bikes by
re-habing and building up bikes from parts. Also, a closely associated group
is developing and Earn-a-Bike" activity for people to work on and eventually
own their own bikes. I am copying them to see if they'd contact you about
the bike.

SD Park & Rec uses bikes as recreational training and activities for people
with physical or other disabilities. I am copying them to see if they could
use an adult sized three-speed bike.

Lastly, on a limited basis the Coalition could accept and then sell usable
bikes accepting whatever is earned from the sale to support our
organization. Let me know if this suits you.

Hi Carolyn,

This is Lauren writing from Bikes Del Pueblo. I'd be happy to arrange a pick up of your bike if you'd like to donate it. We help people get bike riding regardless of who they are or their budget. A lot of the folks we serve are immigrants and refugees and your bike would be a wonderful gift of alternative transportation for someone that will change their life.

I will be between here and LA many times this month. Let's find a time to coordinate.

Sincerely,

Larken
