Donate your old bike!
Drop off bicycles throughout the month of May at the Johnson Road Library, 2145 Johnson Rd
The library is partnering with Madison County Transit to collect any and all bicycles! The bikes are donated to BWorks which is an organization that helps kids earn a free bike while teaching them about bicycle safety and maintenance. Through the program kids learn problem-solving, teamwork, and independence, and at the end, they earn their own bike, helmet, light, and lock.
