DownloadSponsor a bike ride
Community Bike Works schedules regular Saturday bikes rides each spring and summer—more than a dozen each year.
The sponsor of a bike ride--either an individual or a company--provides snacks and beverages for the bike ride attendees at an agreed upon location and time. We generally meet at Community Bike Works at 10 am and return by 2 pm. It's a great opportunity for your company to make a real difference while getting to know the young people in our community!
This opportunity will be available once we're able to ride together safely again.
Files coming soon.
