Hi everyone,
A group of my colleagues at UVic have sponsored an Afghan scholar as a newcomer to Canada. He has been in hiding from the Taliban for over a year, and just made it to Canada last week. We have an apartment all set for him, but he would like to bike instead of taking the bus, so I am on the search for a hybrid type bike for someone 5' 10". We have a helmet and I'll give him a lock, but our (shortish) family can't supply the ride. If you have a bike languishing in a garage, shed or basement, I will gladly take it off your hands. My husband David can work on tires or brakes if necessary, so don't worry about tuning it up. Thank you in advance for considering my request! Heather Ranson
