We need your wheels!

Mar 29, 2012

As part of the Allied Media Conference's mission to provide alternative and healthy transportation options, we are partnering with Fender Bender Detroit to create the first-ever AMC bicycle lending library!

We need bike and helmet donations to meet the expected high-demand for the library. We're looking for new/used/extra bicycles and helmets (please, no "rust buckets"). Fender Bender needs time to repair and spruce up the bikes, so please donate soon.

The bikes will also be used for East Michigan Environmental Action Council's summer youth program before and after the AMC.

Contact Fender Bender Detroit to inquire about making a bike or helmet donation at fenderbenderdetroit@gmail.com or check them out on Facebook and at fenderbenderdetroit.wordpress.com.

More details about how to access the lending library will be available closer to the conference.
