Bikes for the World–cycle recycle bicycle

I learned something NEW today.  Thanks to Isabelle’s Not a Boring Day posts about her small paintings of bicycles I discovered that there is an organization that actually gives bikes to needy people around the world. You can even donate a bike! They will return it to pedaling condition and put it to work.  What a novel notion!

      It would be neat if she can ‘put it on canvas’. Hi, Leslie. What have you been painting?

        Well. Little Trees in Indiana which you just commented on and now probably something that may end up in the trash unless I can rescue it ( a creek scene that’s baffling me because of all these speckly leaves….).

        I vote for RESCUE. I have faith in your ability to rescue your painting.
