COVID creative start-up business needs your help! Unique utility bikes!

Hi there I'm Darla with GBU Bikes and we have 5,000 utility cargo bikes we are desperate to get rid of so that we don't lose our farm. I am contacting every bike seller in the country. We have single-speed bikes with very cool features like airless tires. We bought these at an auction when LIME Rideshare company went out of business. We bought them in the beginning of the pandemic our other businesses had to close and thought people would need these. They are only $89 each. Buy as little or as many as you like. PLEASE HELP or send me to somebody who can. Peace and blessings! GBU BIKES (God Bless U BIKES)

First of all hello how are you? And yes this is a very strange situation. The farm we live on was burned in the fires last year. We are locarted in Agoura Hills, CA. I'm sure you remember the devastation that swept through Malibu and the Santa Monica Mountains where our farm is located. Due to the devastation we have only one horse left and 2 rescue dogs. We were slowly fixing the farm and making plans to bring the animals back when COVID-19 hit and all of us lost our jobs. We are bartenders and photographers, etc. The owner of the farm owns GBU Construction which took a huge dive during this pandemic. These bikes were bought at an auction for an amazing price when LIME went out of business and we are just trying to re-sell them to make ends meet. The only reason I know so much about bikes is because I taught myself- I was a bartender and am a musician which has all been put on hold. COVID has created a lot of weird situations. IS ANYTHING SO UNBELIEVABLE THESE DAYS?

Anyways we would love to sell these to a bike shop if you know anybody. We are not trying to be a bike shop. We are trying to be a farm again. Thank you!
