Unclaimed Bikes Find New Homes

April 30, 2012 7:05 AM | Photos


More than 700 unclaimed bicycles were up for auction over the weekend at the Varsity View Sportsplex. The city's annual bike auction drew hundreds to get a new summer ride at a discounted price. About 200 bikes were given full tuneups by volunteer mechanics as part of a new partnership with the Winnipeg Repair Education and Cycling Hub (WRENCH). Bike registrations were also sold for $5 to ensure these bikes don't end up back at a similar auction in the future. (STAN MILOSEVIC / MANITOBAPHOTOS.COM)
