Hello everyone!
Are you ready for Bike!Bike! in Detroit this Fall? Well, I'm ready also, however I'm doing a fundraiser ride from Vancouver, BC Canada to Tijuana, Mexico, I will be leaving during the 3rd week of August 2016 and will not return until late October.
The purpose of this fundraiser ride is to provide biking programs for youth in disadvantaged areas within Chicago. The fundraiser will provide funding for them to sustain and/or start their youth based biking programs.
The youth of need activities to hep prevent them from getting into trouble or worse. Being involved in a biking program helps them learn discipline, develop thinking skills, problem solving and in some cases business skills.
Youths involved in biking can experience different communities and open the world to their dreams and desires. Bicycling develops discipline while learning bicycle safety, the youth acquire their thinking skills when they're learning how the components of a bicycle works, problem solving skills evolve when the youth learn how to repair a faulty bicycle component, and the business skills develop when they learn how to manage a bicycle shop.
Biking can help teach youth to make better life choices.

Free Cycles Missoula launched with free roaming green bikes in 1996. After growing many different programs- and helping other shops get started around the country- we now have an incredible opportunity... to buy our home and expand to a 2-acre site in the heart of the City.
We'd expand from Open Shop, Build-A-Bike and BikeWell classes to include a fabrication center, community bike share, transportation learning center, City Design Center and sustainable paving testing ground.
