Today we received our first batch of about 25 bikes, graciously donated by the New College student-run bike shop, who in turn received them from the New College campus police. These bikes were all abandoned by their previous owners, and while a handful have rusted into disrepair, we should be able to refurbish most and distribute them to appreciative new owners. We're planning a workshop to begin repairing them this weekend - stay posted!

A promising batch of bicycles. Stay posted for the "after" pictures!

Welcome to the Suncoast Community Bikes blog! Here we'll be documenting our progress as an organization from the very beginning, from workshops to collection drives to volunteer meetings. We're very excited to begin collecting, refurbishing and distributing bikes and are actively recruiting volunteers and making preparations for bicycle collection drives. Stay posted!
