 | | A bike can change a life! Yet for millions of people on the lowest incomes, a new bicycle is financially out of reach. Meanwhile, millions of perfectly good bicycles lay unused in North America, Europe and elsewhere in the Western world. Bicycles for Humanity Thunder Bay is an independent local group of volunteers with a love for bicycles and a passion to help others. |
