Bike Donation: 80 collected!

the bicycles from Wilmette barely fitted in the van

Thank you all for participating in Bike Walk Wilmette’s Annual Bike Donation in collaboration with Working Bikes. On Saturday, May 7th, 2022 between 9 and 11 AM residents brought 80 bicycles to our stand at the Gillson Beach Parking Lot. Some real beauties were donated, including two pristine Schwinns over 60 years old, a triathlon bike, some lovely cruisers, and a Trek tandem. Working Bikes was thrilled, and donors were glad that their bikes will go to good use in Chicago, Ghana, and El Salvador.
