Dear Coffee Coaster, I volunteer at the yellow bike project regularly and I can identify with what you have to say. I would consider bypassing them and going directly to one of the non-profits they give bikes to, namely Refugee Services of Texas, or Caritas. Both of these organizations have a backlog of people in need of transportation who would be happy to receive a working bike from you.

Editor's note: The article linked-to is about our local daily's transportation editor taking a spin on a bicycle, on the invitation of Councilmember Riley and the Bike Program director Beaudet.  They had to hook him up with a bike, because he doesn't own one.  In the article, he cites a figure that only 1.9% of Austinites bike to work, and that biking isn't for the faint of heart.

Everyone, when posting links, please give a summary of what the linked-to content is about, rather than forcing readers to click the link -- especially since the link might break at some point in the future.  Thanks.

At the Yellow Bike Project we are contributing to the HONK! festival by building loaner bikes for the musicians to ride while they are here in Austin. YOU can be a part of HONK! by volunteering at the Yellow Bike Project in February or March. Just come on by and tell a Coordinator that you want to volunteer for HONK!, any weeknight, 1216b Webberville Rd.
