biking-related charities
Hi, I'm new to the group. Seems like a fun bunch! Last year I donated my car to a children's charity and began cycling to work instead. Everybody wins! This got me thinking about donating more to bicycling related charities. My company has a donation-matching program, and it just seems like the right thing to do. Has anyone here worked with a bike-related charity, or donated to one that you feel is particularly worthwhile? Thanks, Michelle |

"Michelle Rodriguez" wrote in message ... I'm new to the group. Seems like a fun bunch! Indeed. Has anyone here worked with a bike-related charity, or donated to one that you feel is particularly worthwhile? Locally, I would support Bike Works (http://www.bikeworks.org/). I believe you are nearly always better off donating your money and time in your own community. -- Warm Regards, Claire Petersky Please replace earthlink for mouse-potato and .net for .com Home of the meditative cyclist: http://home.earthlink.net/~cpetersky/Welcome.htm Books just wanna be FREE!

One of the clubs I'm in does an event called The Harvest Rides with the net going to Make-a-wish. It's staggering the amount of effort that goes into these things and I'd say no volunteer hour you'd be willing to give will be left behind. And there's always a posting for some function that needs a volunteer of some sort, like the MS Tours etc. Maybe there's a club in your area that can help you get involved. Here's a link: http://peteandedbooks.com/bclubs.htm good luck with it, -c.porter. |Thanks, |Michelle |
