ROSS WILLARD has been fixing things all his life. While in Community College, it was motorcycles for a shop and the local kid's bikes for free. Then it was more engineering courses at Millersville and Penn State, but no degree because life got in the way. While rebuilding a Victorian House at home, he worked in machine shops, manufacturing and then thirty years of railroading. Also, he and his wife both ran non-profits in their spare time. So, while feeding people on the street, he noticed kids with brakeless bikes. Hence Recycle Bicycle was born and after twenty years, it went from his yard to a nine thousand square foot warehouse.
