We need your help!

With the start of February, we had a little break from some of our school programming but are looking forward to the return in April! In the meantime, when we aren't working with the team or other program groups, we've been busy assessing our equipment and preparing it for the return to heavy use.

To get straight to the point: these bikes are TIRED. They are starting to get flat innertubes on rides because the tires are low on tread, the shifting is not functioning as smoothly as we'd like with old cables and housing, and they need a deeper lube and tune than we're able to do in ride season. Bearings need lubrication, headsets need adjusting, and every bike needs some serious stand time. We prepared a budget for the parts and labor needed to get everything back to tip top working order, and we need your help hitting that goal!

While we can perform all of the mechanical work in-house, using our workforce development goals with RCC youth that have returned as part time Staff, there are still tasks that require specialized tools and time that we don't have on site. We're lucky to have so many great local bike shops in our corner for that help! We need to order parts and start preparing our fleet for multiple rides a day, as warmer weather knocks on the door.

Your donation to our spring tune up fund helps keep a youth rider in motion, and helps invest back into the community we serve.
