Paul, Sorry you didn't hear about this sooner. We tried to make a big publicity effort for the last couple weeks via social media and emails to supporters. Last night's event was great with about 100 people attending.
The good news is there are LOTS of opportunities to work on bikes before the giveaway. The Free Bikes 4 Kidz workshop needs volunteers to come in and work on bikes 9-9 MF, and 9-3 Sat, now through mid-March. Sign up here to help wrench on bikes: http://fb4kmadison.org/volunteer/ Thank you!
