Do you have an unwanted bicycle you are willing to donate?

The Rotary Club of Pittsford will be collecting old, damaged unwanted bicycles at its 10th annual “Bike Drop” May 4 from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. at Pittsford Mendon High School (472 Mendon Road).

Bicycles or bike parts in any condition will be accepted for donation. The bicycles and parts will be collected by Pittsford Rotary and donated to R Community Bikes, Inc., a Rochester-based charitable organization that repairs and distributes bicycles free of charge to Rochester’s children and adults in need.

“Pittsford’s Rotary Club has collected 2,176 used bikes since 2010 and we hope to increase that total number considerably this year,” said Steve Wilterdink, who is coordinating the effort for the club. “It’s a good time of the year to spring clean your garage while helping people in need.”

For many, bikes are frequently the most affordable means of transportation to jobs, schools, churches, rehabilitation and training programs, and meals at local social service agencies.
