Working Bikes and LL Bean

Working Bikes was invited to participate at LL Bean's Spring Sports Weekend April 9-11, 2010. Katie Windelborn is the Visual Coordinator at the LL Bean store in South Barrington. She included information about Working Bikes in her email newsletter to their customers and collected bikes for Working Bikes all weekend.

On Saturday afternoon Working Bikes Volunteer Gary Gilbert talked with various customers about the mission of Working Bikes. LL Bean collected several used bicycles for Working Bikes. Volunteer Alan Lloyd picked up the bikes and delivered them to 2324 S Western.

There is a nice mix of bicycles appropriate for shipping internationally as well as some appropriate for our local donations project.

If you find yourself in South Barrington, stop in and say Hello to Katie and the folks in the LL Bean Bike Shop and thank them for supporting Working Bikes.
