Angels of Angeles

My HOA has some long-abandoned bikes to dispose of, and I remembered Burbank Bike Angels from when I’d once bought a used bike from them at an event in front of my old office. They’re a charity and they fix up old bikes to give away to the needy. (They also sell some to pay for parts.)

I wrote to them, and they said they’re by the Burbank Farmers Market every Saturday. I was skeptical as I’d never seen them there, so I went to check it out.

As I’d suspected, they were nowhere to be found. I asked at the information booth.

“Do you know where the bike people are?”

“Sure, they’re in that building.”

I’d been completely off-base looking for some volunteers and old bikes in a parking lot. They have a whole building full of bikes and parts and workshops. All volunteer workforce! It’s perfect.
