Edwards Presents Bike To Chautauqua County Fair Raffle Winner
Bike winners and County Executive Greg Edwards
At the corner of Central Avenue and 5th Street in Dunkirk, there stands a church that is home to a not-for-profit organization that recycles donated and discarded bikes, and makes them available to community members in need of two-wheel transportation.
The Spoke Folk Community Bicycle Project, located in the lower level of Iglesia Getsemani, is a volunteer organization dedicated to “Building a Healthier Community One Bicycle at a Time.”
Spoke Folk and its director Richard Goodman, teach bicycle safety, maintenance and repair for all age groups.
Goodman and his group teach youngsters life skills by providing them with an opportunity to “Earn a Bike” by learning about history, technology, basic business principles and the importance of community service.
To that end, Spoke Folk donated a refurbished bicycle for the 2008 Chautauqua County Fair and the Bike Raffle held at the County Government tent inside the main gate.
