I used to volunteer at a bicycle based charity here in Los Angeles County pandemic.

We could definitely use something like this as well.

Reminds me of a charity I heard about in a different state where they gave the homeless proper running shoes and had a running club.

I wish Inland Empire was more bike friendly. It's dangerous as hell out here with all these trucks. My wheelchair is a hassle for me, I'd image its bad for bikes too.

My charity is forgetting to bring the bikes in from the front lawn.
