I gave away one of my commuter bikes at one time to a friend who gave it to a client of hers (she's a counselor). This girl is in high school and needs transportation to get to school and her job. Her family life is horrible and her mom drinks so she cannot depend on her to take her to work and school. She started working at 15 so she could save money to buy lunch at school, clothes from the thrift store, and save some money for college one day. 2 years later and she still rides that bike to school and work every day. Makes me feel good that I'm a bike hoarder! Whenever my DH moans at my bike acquisitions, I remind him that we need to share our blessings.
and I was loaned a bike once. I wanted to try out a tri bike and a friend of mine lent me her nice TT bike for 4 months while I decided if I liked it. I did and bought one.
Give and receive.
