i live in Grand Rapids and have 3 used beginner bikes with training wheels that I want to donate. Is there a local spot I can donate or a place you pick up from to refurb these and give them to someone who can/will use them.

I’m not familiar with donation opportunities near Grand Rapids. You may try contacting the Grand Rapids Bicycle Coalition. They have a Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/bikeGrandRapids
