Recycle that Bicycle • Saturday, July 14 • 8AM – Noon

The Lake Saint Louis Police Department is partnering with BicycleWorks to take those old bicycles off your hands!  The bike drive will take place on Saturday, July 14, 2012 from 8:00 a.m. until noon at the Lake Saint Louis Farmers and Artists Market.  The market is located on the south lots of The Meadows shopping center at Highway 40 & Lake Saint Louis Blvd.

Members of the police department’s bike patrol unit will be on hand to assist BicycleWorks with the collection of bicycles of any style and in any condition.  In addition, bicycle parts will be accepted.  Bike patrol officers will distribute bicycle safety information during the event.

The old bikes, or bicycles in need of repair, will be reconditioned or rebuilt by BicycleWorks (www.bworks.org).  They will eventually find their way to deserving children, who may not be able to afford to purchase a bicycle on their own, but have the opportunity to earn one through various programs and projects.
