While riding a local multi-use path I noticed this, in the parking lot behind a fire station:
It was hard to tell if it is still in operation, and there is no information on the city’s website.
Nonetheless, there were a lot of bikes and bike parts laying around. Perhaps these are donations?
I found this info on the MSU Bikes website:
Share-A-Bike Program, a community bike project, operating out of red trailers behind the East Lansing Fire Station No. 1, 1700 Abbott Road. The Program was started in 1994 and has given away hundreds of bikes to needy folks over the years. During the warm months of the year they are open for “business” every Saturday morning from 8 til 11 a.m. During the winter they’re open every 2nd Saturday of the month, same time. Here’s an old article about the program w/ more info. Email Ron Sprinkel, founder and treasurer for more information, or call him @ 517/351-4848
Unfortunately the ‘old article’ link appears to be dead, but I’ll get in touch with Ron Sprinkel to find out more about this interesting program.
