More people need to know about this place. They sell refurbished bicycles and bicycle-related items (i.e. helmets & clothes, like those ultra skin-tight shirts and shorts all the really good bikers have).
For weeks, I've been trying to buy a used Scwhinn bike off Craiglist from some lady in North Charlotte. She keeps posting the bike and then everytime I ask about it, she doesn't respond. She was driving me crazy.
Anyway, so we finally bought our 10 year-old daughter a killer 6-speed mountain bike for $80 at Trips for Kids (sorry North Charlotte woman who lists items on Craiglist and then doesn't respond). And we picked up a hi-tech bike pump for $15. It cost over $30 but was donated to Trips for Kids, so they were selling it for $15. Feels good to know that our money goes to a program to help kids earn bikes who might otherwise not be able to afford one. Oh, bring your check book or cash. No credit cards.
