SONOMA COUNTY, CA Cotati resident Sherry Adams saw a need: upon release, most jail inmates lack transportation, a job, possibly even a driver s license. Many lacked vehicles even before their incarceration.
Her vision was to teach classes in bicycle safety, basic maintenance and repairs to local jail inmates, then create a bike shop where inmates could learn bike repair and fix donated bikes that once restored would be given to inmates upon their release.
