Bikes for fire victims

Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition
For many kids and adults, a bike is an important mode of transportation and/or recreation. A number of organizations have been working to obtain donated new and/or used bicycles for North Bay Fire Victims, and recently began launching their programs to distribute bicycles to individuals and families in need.  We hope that helping get bikes into the hands of those who lost so much will bring some joy and a sense of normalcy to the thousands of  families affected by this disaster.
