+Haven Ridge is currently asking for donations of adult bikes and bike trailers! They are located next to St. Paul's and its residents would love to get out and do their grocery shopping, get to work, drop off their children at daycare, and attend their appointments around town by bicycle. Help support their residents while also encouraging sustainable transportation (and don't forget the in-kind tax write off!). Bikes should be any adult size and in good, rideable condition. They are happy to take either e-bikes or traditional bikes; e-bikes should have a working battery and come with all items necessary for charging. Trailers should be in good condition with any attachment hardware accounted for and included. They are also happy to accept bike locks with your bike donations. Email Haven Ridge directly at info@havenridgeboulder.org to talk about a donation.
