I enjoy rescuing bikes and making them run well.  I have looked around Austin for donation opportunities but I have not been excited about the options.  The yellow bike project is a disorganized mess and my donations appear to go into a big heap of bike part bins to never be seen or used again ( I have volunteered there and I have seen it).  I am not dissing YBP.  They provide a great service.  I just want my bikes to go directly to someone.  Many advocacy groups need children sized bikes (I will take those and fix them up as I have a school that has asked me for larger children's bikes, not small kid bikes).  Currently I have a larger hybrid type bike and I am looking for a good home for it.  I would prefer to give it directly to someone who will use it.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.
