A cycling club, Bike Forward, donated 11 new Trek and Giant bikes to us. Over half the bikes were immediately put in the hands of kids who engaged with their communities by participating in and promoting neighborhood riding events sponsored by BikEquity. One recipient was a dedicated participant who had 7 rides under her belt. Here is a picture of these new bike owners at the bike store collecting their new rides.
The last few months we have taken on a new group of volunteer mechanics. Torben Harrison, a new mechanic of our Wednesday shift, holds up the first bike he refurbished.
Thanks to everyone who donated to Wheels for Winners during The Big Share. With your generous donations, we were able to raise over $17,000! We look forward to putting those dollars to good use by improving biking across Madison. Look for us at repair events and community rides this summer!
