Abandoned
and neglected bicycles are brought back to life at Free Ride in Pittsburgh.
Individuals rebuild and repair what will become their own bike, thereby
learning the skills necessary to keep it in working order. If more
people understood the fundamentals of bicycle maintenance, many of
these bikes might not have been abandoned in the first place.
