Hi,
I am a social work intern at Northwestern University’s Child and Family Justice Center, and I am working with a client (non-criminal related) who is in need of a bike. I was wondering if it would be possible to complete a referral for this individual.
Best regards,
Catherine
I’m looking for a used mens 3 speed bike without a coaster brake. Would you have any? Thanx, Terry Strand.
Terry,
I don’t believe we do right now. We do add bikes each week, so you’re welcome to give us a call (773.262.5900) or stop in during the sale to see what we have in a few weeks. Thanks!
