The bikes will be donated to Working Bikes Cooperative, a Chicago-based nonprofit that refurbishes old bikes and gives them to people in developing countries.

Active Trans has a special connection with the Elmhurst Bike Task Force. Bob Hoel, the chairman and founder of the task force, also serves on the Active Trans Board of Directors.
