On October 19, the Churchville Lions Club, with the help of the local community, gathered 144 new, used, and defective bicycles for the R Community Bikes program, which prepares the bicycles for distribution. A bicycle repair shop in Rochester serves as a holding area for donated bikes. An all-volunteer work force collects the bikes, which may be broken and used for parts, repairable, or nearly new, which will be evaluated and possibly sold, with the proceeds going directly back into the program to purchase parts, supplies, and tools, thus enabling the work to continue.
