Thank you everyone for your generous contributions to the Bikes For Tots fund! We will be donating these 2 bicycles, plus a lock for each.
May these gifts from us start a life long love of bicycles for their recipients.
We will be purchasing a cool bike to donate on behalf of the Coasters to this cause. If you would like to donate you can do so through PayPal below or donate to me in person.
I will be at the Shamrock Thursday the 13th accepting donations. Even if you don’t ride that night please come by if you would like to contribute. Any little bit will help plus you get to ride in the parade!
Edit: We are through accepting donations. Thanks!
Bikes For Tots is an organization that collects new bicycles to give to the Salvation Army and local Police who then give these bikes to kids in need at Christmas time. The Coasters have been asked if we’d like to contribute.

Erick has created a “pool” on Flickr for Coasters Bicycle Club related photos. You can check it out here. I’ve also linked to it on this site’s Photo Album page.
Splurge! magazine (first I’ve heard of it) has an article on the now famous Conference bike. You can view it online here.
If you didn’t get to ride the Conference bike at the Art Of The Bike or are just dying to ride it again, we are hoping to have it at this years Midwest Bicycle Fest September 28th.
