Any stores in the area have bikes in stock? Walmarts in Howell and Brick are completely empty.
Looking for 24".
Thanks!
They must have a day that they assemble and stock up. I was in Howell on Sunday and not a single bike was there. Checked online and the bikes weren't available in brick either. On Tuesday brick was full of bikes, all sizes and styles.

How does the school lunch program that are being given out everywhere work?
Some places say only 3-18 some say under 18?
Some are giving once a week for the whole week some are giving out just shabbos box
 Is it profitable  for the school?
 Are the schools only giving out to members of their own school I know some are advertising for everybody to come
and most important of all who is giving out the best food?

There are two programs, one is for kids from any school and for ages 1-18, one is for only families that send to that school (including siblings not from that school), ages 3-18.

You can only get one per kid per day, whether you pick up once a week from schools that give out that way or every day from schools that do daily.

Schools get reimbursed a set amount per meal, if their cost is under that they make money.

My children say Bnos Yaakov has the best overall, they give out every day from 11-1 at Pine Park. Bnos Devorah on Oak Street gives out from out to lunch, Yeshiva K'tana gives out at John Patrick Park on Vine from 4 corners, and cheder toras Zev on Cross gives out from circa, those are good choices too.

If you are looking for it to use for davening outdoors, how it is constructed can make a difference in how well the tziruf to a minyan is.

How can it affect a minyan? It doesn't have walls.

Thought about it, but I don’t think it’s big enough for me
Too many choices online, and most will atleast take till the end of the week to arrive and I keep on telling myself just another week and we’ll be back on shul...

Any program that is open to the public (all of those) are for children ages 1-18
I didn't list the other programs because they're not relevant to you unless you send to those schools
