 | | If 10,000 Chicago Biters buy a rehabbed set of wheels instead of a new one, we'll keep the weight of 1,250 Lance Armstrongs in trash outta landfills. |

|  The Bite
Yes, you’re gonna be a star…on wheels. So say the fab folks down at Working Bikes Co-Op, a Westside nonprof that recycles old two-wheelers into safe, cheap rides for sale and gives away another 5,000 bikes each year to down-’n’-out communities in Chicago, the Gulf Coast, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Cuba. Choose from refurbished road bikes, vintage single speeds, cruisers, mountain bikes, or whatever else is ready to roll – the selection, which constantly changes, sells out quickly in the summer. And whether you grab a rehabbed roadster or hand over your old Huffy, you’ll be keeping junk outta the dump…and maybe we’ll love you. Beep beep yeah. |
