An open letter-
Dear Amazing Supportive Community:
After a lot of consideration and soul searching, we have, unfortunately, come to the difficult decision to discontinue the bike rehabilitation and bike repair services.
We want to thank you all so much for donating bicycles, buying parts off of our Amazon Wish List, and supporting our vision over these past four years. During that time, we have rehabbed and rehomed over 700 used bikes, thanks to all of our wonderful supporters!!
It has been an amazing experience, for both of us. We have so much appreciated all of the love and support that we have received from the community during those four years. We feel very good about all of the bikes that we have been able to save from the landfill, and all of the people that we were able to provide with bicycles during that time. We never could have anticipated how much need there was, or how far-reaching the program would become. It has been unreal to be a part of it all.
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen changes in both the economy and our personal situation, we now have less time available to spend working in the shop. That and issues with storage space have led us to make this difficult decision.
Because of this change, we are NO LONGER ABLE to accept bicycles for donation. Please help us get the word out around the community.
This has been a very difficult decision, but is necessary at this time. We pray that the community will be understanding and supportive as our lives transition to this next phase.
Thank you all for your tremendous support these past four years. We appreciate each and every one of you!
Most Sincerely,
Vern & Leslie White
Milan Bike Guy
