Book of Dreams trailer for Cycles 4 Hope

Cycles4HopeAnother bicycle related project was added to the Sacramento Bee’s Book of Dreams holiday effort today. Cycles 4 Hope, a nonprofit organization which serves primarily homeless people dependent on bicycles for transportation, needs to move bikes and tools between locations. The need a larger trailer to do so. This is a great organization who is really making a difference day to day in the quality of people’s lives.

I’ve already made a donation, and I’d recommend that every bicyclist donate. The donations are to a fund managed by the Sacramento Region Community Foundation.
