"In a largely unseen system, abandoned bikes are repaired and shipped to people across the US — and around the world — who can use them to travel to school or work....Since its inception in 1999, the community of Working Bikes volunteers, staff, partners and supporters have enabled new life for more than 100,000 bicycles across the globe and tens of thousands locally in Chicago. Even throughout the pandemic, the volunteers have been meeting to repair and ship bikes, and they also maintain “bike libraries” for people who only need bicycles occasionally or have no place to store them."
