Bike Works


Recently we did a blog posting about a really handy website called Donate Seattle. After reading through all the listings of worthwhile charities that would like donated bikes, I chose Bike Works. The tagline on their business card reads: “Building sustainable communities by educating youth and promoting bicycling”. It was easy to find in the Columbia City neighborhood of Seattle. Check their business hours before you head down there, as they vary somewhat.


I was delighted when I saw their cheerful looking shop. The sign on the side is spelled with bike reflectors!

The front of the building sports wonderful mosaics, including this bike wheel by the front door.


And in case my sons are reading this blog entry, here is a last look at one of your bikes, which will be put to good use soon.

Donate Seattle


I am so glad our friend, Cindy, shared this ultra useful website with us.

It tells you about all sorts of worthwhile organizations that accept your donations, and it is organized by categories. It is time to part with my son's bikes, since they outgrew them ages ago. The hard part is deciding which good cause more than the next good cause to select!
