Tonight: Cheap bike sale to fund Neighborhood Bike Works' newest DIY bicycle workshop

Neighborhood Bike Works – the Philadelphia nonprofit dedicated to engaging kids through learning how to build and maintain bicycles –is expanding one of its programs with almost Napoleonic speed.
For years, there has been "Bike Church": the free, volunteer-run bicycle workshop, based on Penn's campus, where amateur and expert alike can borrow tools, a work stand, and plenty of collective wisdom to work on his or her own bicycle. (Disclosure: I'm an occasional volunteer there myself.)
Then, recently, came "Bike Temple" – no, not a Jewish version of the same program, but the same thing based near Temple University's campus.
Now comes yet another: Haddington Bike Church, based at 230 N. Salford St., near the 60th and Market stop on the Market Frankford Line. They'll be open Wednesdays, from 6:30 to 9:00 P.M.
Proceeds from donations and sales at all three go toward the nonprofit's programming.
They open tonight, and kick things off with a used bicycle sale. Bikes start at $50, according to this handy little flier:
