bike drive recap

bdp was mentioned in the irc's own blog:

IRC had a successful bike drive on Sunday, October 31st at the Velodrome Swap Meet!

We were able to gather more than 20 unused bicycles and numerous bicycle parts throughout the day. IRC clients will receive the bicycle after they participate in a safety training course presented by the San Diego Bicycle Coalition.

We are also looking to spend a weekend refurbishing old bikes to distribute. If you are interested in donating unused bicycle or participating in building used bikes, please email Hong.Tran@theirc.org for more information.

Lastly, thank you San Diego Velodrome for hosting IRC at their event, Ken Egby from Bikes del Pueblo for coming out to help with the drive, and San Diego Bicycle Coalition for presenting the bicycle safety classes!
