I want to ride my bicycle

The Unitarian Universalist Church of Sarasota is helping Sarasota put the pedal to the metal by sponsoring a bike and bike-part collection from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 15. The event will take place in the UUCS parking lot and is co-sponsored by Suncoast Community Bikes, a start-up nonprofit for bikes for the poor.

The organization collects, repairs and distributes bicycles and bicycle parts, but donations are needed to keep the program going. For more information, call 206-6201
