Bike Pirates, (http://bikepirates.com/) have received a LARGE number of smallish bikes, 20″ wheel and smaller (including a unicycle!). The have safety-checked them all and have been giving them out for FREE but still have about 30 bikes left. Can you, a friend, a family member or anyone you know use a kids bike? They are keen to get them out of their shop, as they are closing on January 31 for an annual 10-day cleanup/renovation period and any of these little bikes still in the shop will be scrapped — which is a shame, as they as very usable and they would like to get kids started riding bicycles early.

Bike Pirates is at 1416 Queen St. W. or email them at dawn@claviersbaroques.com
