Used bicycles are being collected by the non-profit Bicycles for Humanity, May 22 at William Stevenson Park, in Fernwood.

B4H is seeking mountain bikes in good condition, spare parts and financial contributions. It aims to ship 600 bikes per year, at $35 a piece.

The drive takes place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information, visit www. bicycles-for-humanity-org.
