TFM just heard about this event hosted last weekend in San Diego from BikeRadar (yes, a seemingly unrelated source). Check out what this San Diego non-profit got done on one evening, though, even in tough economic time.<\/p>\n

The 2009 Bike Art Spectacular raised more than US$14,000 for the San Diego, California-based non-profit Kimberlee’s Bikes for Kids this past Saturday, raising funds to distribute free bicycles, helmets and locks to underprivileged 1st – 3rd graders.<\/p>\n

“Being the first year we had no idea what to expect,” Dan Gindling, president of Kimberlee’s Bikes for Kids, told BikeRadar Tuesday. “We definitely had exceptional art and a few exceptional art lovers….<\/p>\n

The most expensive piece, “Tour de France”, a 6\u2019 x 3\u2019 hand-painted aluminium wall sculpture by Israeli artist Dave Gerstein, was sold to a New York collector for US$6,600. The collector also bought the gallery-framed Leroy Neiman “Indoor Cycling” limited edition print for US$2,575.”<\/p>\n
