CHRIS HALL ’12 has a passion for bicycles. And not just for his own transportation. Hall collects, repairs and gives bicycles to people who will use them. A registered nurse at Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, Hall reconditioned more than 100 bicycles and sent them abroad, where they found new life helping their owners get around.

The project continued last summer, but with a twist: Hall donated a number of his salvaged bicycles to Bloomsburg University’s Quest program, initially for summer camp use, and helped to recondition the two-wheelers. These vehicles are providing the foundation of Quest’s BU Bike Project, which enables students and community members to rent bicycles a semester at a time for a nominal fee.
