Local Bike Drive a Success!
Bicycles For Humanity Georgia and BikeAthens teamed up over the weekend to collect second hand bikes to redistribute to individuals in need in Athens, Georgia and Namibia, southern Africa. More than 200 bikes were collected.
"All in all, the event was a great success and we are very pleased with the turn out," said Mary Fortson Harwell with Bicycles for Humanity. "We had many families come by to drop off bikes, as well as several come by the building just to see what it was all about."
The event was held at Oneta, commercial space for sale or lease by Full Circle at the north end of Chase Park Warehouses. Oneta developer and Full Circle Agent Briggs Carney was a volunteer and sponsor. Contact Briggs for more info about Oneta or info on the Bike Recycling program, 706-461-2677.
