Used Bike Sale in DC

With Chain Reaction's closing, there's been an absence of not only a community space for cyclists to work on their own bikes, but no place to to legitimately buy an affordable used bike. Luckily there are a few programs joining up to provide such a service:

On Saturday, December 6, four local, non-profit bike programs are joining forces to bring more bikes to DC streets. The programs, Phoenix Bikes, Renaissance Community Youth Bike Project, The Mount Rainier Bike Coop, and the Rockville Youth Bike Project, use bikes to help young people get active, have fun learning, and serve their communities. There’ll be 20 - 30 road, hybrid, single-speed, kids, and mountain bikes, refurbished by youth, volunteer, and staff mechanics. Best of all, proceeds go to keeping these programs and their cyclists moving. Come by the Bike Sale, running from 10am – 3 pm at Big Bear Café (1700 First St. NW, DC) to find a new ride for 2009!

If you can't make out on Saturday, follow the links and learn more about how you can help out these great programs.

The Phoenix link is dead...you swapped the o and e in the hyperlink (i.e., pheonix instead of phoenix).

How Do We Bring Back Chain Reaction????? I Live on Capitol Hill and by Summer 2009 there will be a Bike Transit Station Installed, how can we get some community bike space right near this great tourist area!
