Changing lives one spoke at a time
One of the most exciting things I've heard this year is happening in Gilroy this week. Originally planned as a donation drive to collect gently used bicycles this Saturday, Aug. 2 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Spokes4Folks found that the response to the idea of donating bikes to give to folks in need of transportation picked up speed quickly. In light of such a tremendous outpouring of compassion, the volunteer group has had to start giving away bikes earlier than planned. What a good problem to have!

I know downtown needs all the help it can get. But what an opportunity we have with some of these little gems of a park.”
