Recycling Bicycles in Columbus

Photo by Beth Berkemer
On Dec. 9, the Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) in Columbus donated back to the community 49 bikes that had been left on buses over the past several months. After 60 days, COTA tags the bikes for pickup by the Mid-Ohio Foodbank, a local nonprofit that feeds the hungry and addresses other basic needs. During the holiday season, local firefighters spruce the bikes up as part of the “Firefighters 4 Kids” program before distributing them as Christmas gifts. Firefighter Doug Smith displays several of the bikes in the COTA bus garage.
