If you have an old bike and aren’t using it, consider donating it to the Toys for Tots program.

Bob and Ruth Holliday at the Bicycle Pedaler, 330 N. Rock Road, are currently taking old bikes and refurbishing them for the program. Volunteers are also needed to help repair, wash and polish the bikes.

This is the 24th year the Hollidays have worked for the Toys for Tots program. They will take any color, size and model of bike, although smaller bikes are preferred. Donated bikes should not have rust.

The Bicycle Pedaler opens each day at 10 a.m. It is open until 6 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday; 7 p.m. on Thursday, and 5 p.m. on Saturday. The store is closed on Sundays.

For more information, call the Bicyle Pedaler at 316-685-4545.
