Bike Skills = Life Skills

Knowing how to fix a flat, adjust your brakes, or put a chain back on? That’s a flex. 😏🔧

The more you know about your bike, the more confident you’ll feel riding it. Learn it. Fix it. Ride it.

Summer might be winding down, but the adventures don’t have to! Grab your bike, find a trail, bring a friend, and make the most of those long summer days. Sometimes the best memories start with simply getting outside.

Got a bike collecting dust in the garage? Give it another ride! Donating bikes and cycling gear to our ReCyclery helps keep bikes in motion while supporting the work we do with Bay Area youth.

One person’s old bike can become someone else’s next adventure.

Back to school = back on two wheels 🚲🎒

Before you roll, remember these 3 basics:

🪖 Helmet on. Always. Looking cool is great. Protecting your brain is cooler.

👀 Eyes up, phone down. Stay focused on cars, people, and what’s ahead.

🛑 Ride like traffic. Follow signs, stop at red lights, and make sure drivers can see you.
Ride smart, stay safe, and have an awesome school year! ⚡🚲

Back to School Bike Safety!

As kids head back to school, here are 3 important rules every young rider should remember:

🪖 1. Always wear a helmet — Make sure it fits properly and is securely fastened.

👀 2. Stop, look & stay alert — Obey traffic signs, watch for cars, and look both ways before crossing streets.

🚲 3. Be visible & predictable — Wear bright or reflective clothing, use bike lights when needed, and ride in the same direction as traffic.

A safe ride makes for a great start to the school day! 💚
