Bicycle storage needed: The Sharing Wheels Community Bike Shop, which provides bicycles to people in need of transportation, is looking for a garage, warehouse or other storage area to keep kids’ bikes for Christmas. Each year, the organization fixes more than 100 bicycles to donate to Christmas House as gifts for children in low-income families in the Everett area. The group is looking for a secure spot in north Everett that they can readily access to bring bicycles in and out . If someone has space they would be willing to let Sharing Wheels use for free, they should contact sharingwheels@gmail.com or 425-252-6952.
