At any given moment, hundreds of bicycles are languishing in Denver alleys, basements, hallways, attics and garages. If you have one of those, give your bike the circle of life by donating it to Denver kids in need of a bike.
Rude Recreation Center and Recycles Bicycles have teamed up to fix bikes for some of Denver ‘s youth. Rude Recreation Center recruits 12-15 kids every other month to participate in the event. Recycles Bicycles will teach the kids basic care and maintenance of their bicycles as well bike safety tips. Each participating youth will receive a bike helmet to go along with their new bike. For more information on Recycles Bicycles, visit their website.
The next Build a Bike day will be held on Saturday, January 31, 2009, from 1 to 3 p.m. at Rude Recreation Center, 2855 West Holden Place. To donate, contact Dave Bauer at (303) 788-0672. For more information on participating in the program, contact either Ken or Martin at Rude Recreation Center, (720) 865-0570.
For information about another bike-sharing program, log back on at about 1 o’clock this afternoon.
