The Voice received notice that Samaritan House, a social service agency in San Mateo, is seeking bicycle donations for low income adults and children this holiday.  The bikes should be in good working order:

Samaritan House spokeswoman Nancy Carothers said that the kids' bicycles and helmets are generally passed along as gifts during the holidays, whereas the adult bikes can provide needed transportation for clients who don't have cars.

"For adults it's great because it often helps them get to work," Carothers said.

Anyone able to donate a bicycle is asked to call Samaritan House at (650) 523-0831 to arrange to drop it off by Dec. 17.

Check your garages, you know there is one in there somewhere.
