Reno Bike Project
Up in Reno, Nv they have and interesting non-profit called the Reno Bike Project that rebuilds and sells donated bicycles.
They also let you bring in your own bike and use their tools to repair it. There are usually a number of volunteers willing to lend you a hand if you have a problem. The cost is just $3.00 hr.
Here’s a link to an article in one of the reno papers about the Reno Bike Project.
This is their main page, it leads to a series of photos that are hosted on Flicr.
This is the Reno Bike Project blog, which is more interesting that the pictures.
You can drop off donations on Weds-Saturday, Noon to 6pm. Look for them in the alley between Bell & Ralston Streets. –Obviously they’re not getting rich off it.

And this is my favorite picture from their blog.
