Why Mundelein police are donating 28 bikes to charitable group
Instead of selling more than two dozen unclaimed bicycles at auction for a relative pittance, Mundelein police are going to donate them to a nonprofit group that will give them to people who are poor or experiencing other hardships.
The police department has 28 unclaimed bicycles, Police Chief John Monahan said in a memo. The department has sold bicycles at auction in the past, typically getting between $1 and $35 per bike, he said.The company that ran bike auctions for the department shifted to online sales because of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is inconvenient for the department, Monahan said.
Since its inception in 1999, Working Bikes has given away an estimated 100,000 bicycles worldwide, according to the group's website.
