We hope that the bike drive will become an annual event.
Bike Drive a Huge SuccessThe bike drive sponsored by GVR Cycling, the Posada Pedalers, the Cyclists of Quail Creek and the Santa Cruz Valley Bike Advocate Committee brought in 178 bikes over the weekend of February 25-26. In addition, there were also boxes, bags and bins of bike gear, parts and clothing. All donations were distributed to Bicas Tucson, the Continental School Mountain Biking Club and 0s3 Movement in Nogales. Donated bikes and gear will go to youth and adult cyclists in need of bikes and daily transportation.
Bike Drive Redux
Edgardo Munoz of 0s3 in Nogales recently posted an article online giving some details about how bikes donated at the recent bike drive are being shared with riders in need in the United States and Mexico - Website. The article focuses on community collaboration both on the part of the donors as well as local officials in helping to get bikes out into the community.

The GVR Cycling Club is one of four bicycling groups sponsoring a bike drive in February. We are hoping to gather as many used bikes, parts, clothes and biking gear that will go to cycling groups serving young and people in need of a bike in Green Valley, Tucson and Nogales. The groups receiving the bikes are: Continental School Mountain Bike Club, Bicas – Website and 0S3 Movement in Nogales - Website. A similar effort five years ago brought together over 100 bikes plus bike parts and related biking gear. We are hoping for a similar outcome this time around.
We are currently working on publicity for this effort but we will soon need volunteers to help. Here are some of the types of volunteer activities and the number of people needed:
Bike pick-up for early donations – 1-2 people
Flyer distributions – 1-2 people
Posada Java Information Table – 3 dates prior to event – 2-3 people
Receiving bikes – 4-5 people each of two days
