Sanibel’s Old Bikes Given New Life In Immokalee

The used bikes of Sanibel now have a new home in Immokalee thanks to the generosity of island residents. Over the past month, the island’s second Bike Collection Drive accumulated 150 used bicycles, plus boxes of accessories such as helmets, saddles, kickstands, pedals, baskets and child seats. All were recently delivered to appreciative new owners among the seasonal farm worker community in Immokalee. The agricultural worker community in Immokalee is one of the poorest in the country, and living conditions are difficult for many of the families there.

Immokalee residents have many needs, from clothing to basic household goods, and prominent among the items they need are bicycles, which they use for basic transportation. continued on page 35
