People may have a bike that they no longer use. Mercer County and the Park Commission take old bikes–no matter the condition–and give them to the Trenton Bike Exchange for repairs and send the refurbished bikes to low-income families.
Location: Ranger Headquarters, Mercer County Park, 334 S Post RD, West Windsor, NJ 08550
The joint effort hauled in 400 bikes, the largest and most successful collection in the Bike Exchange’s 12-year history, said County Executive Brian M. Hughes.
“I thank the community for their enormous generosity in donating 400 bicycles for our bike drive,” Mr. Hughes said. “I also thank our Park Commission and Planning Department for coordinating the effort.”
“This collaborative effort helps build a bigger community for those interested in learning how to ride a bike, or to obtain one at an affordable price,” said Park Commission Executive Director Aaron T. Watson. “We are thrilled with the turnout from the event and hope to see this effort expand more within our park system.”
