Ode to The Working Bikes Volunteer

From lawyers to managers, PhD's to clerks
They volunteer because they want to, they like the work
They are dedicated to a cause
They hustle, and toil, and triumph
So that others may know FREEDOM
They volunteer so those souls in developing nations
Can experience the wind in their face
As they pedal, and crank, and ride the bicycles we have gathered
Ride their bicycles to work, to advance, to succeed

The conditions at the Co-Op can be less than ideal
With the air on in the Winter
And the heat on in the Summer
But Lee is working on that

There are bicycles, and grease, and wrenches
And volunteers with different faces
From all kinds of places
And a common bond that brings us All Together

They load bicycles into shipping containers
Hey, do you know where that bicycle came from
From a basement or garage not fulfilling its' purpose
Thank you for donating it and
Giving an old bicycle a new home

Volunteers attend events and pedal a bike machine
They show how this simple machine can generate electricity
To show the virtues of a true Working Bike

They volunteer their time and expertise
And in return WB gives them satisfaction
And pride
So if you need a ride
Give Working Bikes a try
They ReCycle, They ReUse
They give of themselves
They are the Working Bikes Volunteer
