Last Tuesday, our Teamsters completed the largest bicycle delivery to date for the bike refurbishment program at Folsom State Prison. Transporting an impressive 150 bicycles required five trucks and trailers—a true all-hands effort.
Gary Clarke, Stuart Warner, Jesse Crawford, and Don Fuller collected bicycles from El Dorado County Disposal. Dan Gott picked up additional donated bikes in Folsom from Trek Bicycle El Dorado Hills and Folsom stores. Joe Ryan gathered approximately 20 bicycles from the Moose Lodge in Folsom, where they had been collected and held specifically for this project.
Thanks to this outstanding effort, inmates working in the prison bike shop now have plenty of bicycles to refurbish for future giveaways to children and adults in need. Congratulations to everyone involved for pulling off such a major and meaningful delivery.
