Two bikes had been hanging unused in Bill and Twyla Smith’s garage. Now they’re on their way to people for whom the bikes will be a big benefit.
On Saturday morning, the Smiths gave their bikes to the Center of Hope’s Bike-To-Work ministry, which fixes up donated bikes and sells them to people who need the bikes to get to work.
Bikes are “really important” for many people, said Fred Wilgenburg, paster at Center of Hope. “It may not be their only means of transportation, but a lot of times they’re unable to afford a car, or can’t get a car for legal reasons.”
