The kids HAVE the helmets, they just don't use them! Think of them as seatbelts in cars in Mexico.

Looks like we'll be doing a prelim delivery tomorrow morning!

Bajacat delivered 5 more bicycles yesterday to Cafe Bohemia. We picked them up this morning and delivered them to Agua Viva for storage until we deliver them to the kids (hopefully next weekend!) While we were at Cafe Bohemia we picked up a couple pounds of organic Chiapas dark roast coffee and several pounds of organic cherry tomatoes:bounce:

I think we have the delivery routine down cold. I picked up the 5 bikes that BajaCat brought to the Bohemia and trucked them up to Agua Viva today. I wish everyone on this board could see how happy these kids will be when we deliver the 20 bikes we have. You, senor Grover, epitomize everything that is truly good about this board.

I think we've still got a couple of promised pickups in the bag.

I can still take bikes on Wed. 4/30, if there's any left.

Doc is headed your way the end of this week and is planning on bringing some back. We made a delivery today to Rotilio's camp -- VERY HAPPY KIDS. Bajamigo will post pix a little later today.

Also, a neighbor just gave us another bike (actually, he went with us for the delivery so you'll see his pic)

Grover -- maybe we should re-title this thread to BIKE PROJECT?

The helmets from Hose A were delivered to Agua Viva today after his daughter-in-law so kindly delivered them to Cafe Bohemia. Beachbum1A picked them up at the Cafe yesterday and brought them to Punta Banda. We delivered this morning along with all the leftovers from last night's "steak night" at La Sociedad de Vecinos de Punta Banda. We do that once a month and this was the first time the leftovers went to such grateful folks!!!

When we delivered the last load of bikes, they all went to one "village." The Agua Viva folks told us there are other villages around them where the kids want bikes. BTW, Jose, a "village" is like that collection of storage containers we saw peopel using as housing when we brought Rotilio his bike. So keep the bikes coming!

Incidentally, Jon at Agua Viva spends a fair amount of time fixing up bikes that he finds around the area or have been donated. That's when he and the rest of the staff are hustling to take care of 130 kids. So the need for bikes goes on.

And remember, if any Nomad is heading south, bring a bike or two or ten and drop them off at Cafe Bohemia, so you won't have to go out of yoour way. BB2005 and I pick them up promptly so there's little inconvenience to Jim. He's happy to take them off your hands.
