VALDOSTA, Ga. (WALB) -Valdosta Bike Center partnered with Valdosta Police Department to collect bikes and donate them to those in the community in need of transportation and to kids, as well.
“We see a lot of people that bring their bikes in that use them for transportation every day, and we see the need when their bikes break down, they don’t really have the money to get it repaired. So we thought if we can take bikes that are still out there hanging out there in people’s garage and haven’t ridden in 10 to 15 years. No value to them, that they would want to donate,” Shawn Eikenberry, owner of Valdosta Bike Center.
