A local Scout is organizing a bicycle donation event this weekend in South County for St. Louis BWorks, which collects used bicycles and rehabs them to give to children through the Earn-A-Bike program. The teen is organizing the event as a project to become an Eagle Scout.
The event is slated for 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 8, in the Lindbergh High parking lot, 5000 S. Lindbergh Blvd.
BWorks, formerly known as St. Louis Bicycle Works, is currently struggling after the collapse of a warehouse in the city of St. Louis where it kept its donated bikes. The organization focuses on helping children and teenagers develop skills that will benefit them throughout their lives.
