Great news: I just heard that the Community Bicycle Center in Biddeford just got funding to the tune of $78,400 from the Maine Department of Transportation Biennial Capital Workplan for 2008-2009. If you haven't heard about the CBC, stop in for a visit. Andy Greif, the director, is making miracles happen there, teaching kids about bike safety, getting them access to bike helmets and showing them how to maintain a bike. The bike shop in Biddeford is a crowded, noisy, messy, joyful place where kids can learn to more or less build a bike from scratch, either to fix theirs or to earn themselves a cheap bike.
