Today was the final day of our two-wheeled bike ministry. Now we will turn our undivided attention towards our hand-pedaled three-wheeled trike program.
We passed all our inventory on to Working Bikes in Chicago who we have partnered with some over the past few years. They would pick up beyond what we could repair.
After all the bikes were picked up seven of the HWI bike team went out for a celebration lunch. Two volunteers have been with us since 2005, two more since 2006, one since 2009 and one since 2011. Each of our lives have been changed by the great opportunity we have had to work on bikes together and to service over 1,700 bicycles for those in need.
