Bike On!
Our Mission
Our Future
The mission of Bike On! is to support and promote the work of Bike First!. We will achieve this by procuring, building, storing, and transporting the tools and equipment needed to outfit or run a highly-effective bicycle camp.
Why Bike On!?
Bike First! rents the outriggers yearly for over $5000, including transportation from California. They will not confirm our rental dates in a timely manner because other camps reserve this same fleet. Securing a gymnasium for the camp is critical, and this delay poses many problems. This also limits the number of camps we can offer per year. We plan to expand!
How You Can Help
As you can see on the list above, we are seeking cash and in-kind donations. Many of you will donate to Bike First! camp, too, and we will honor you at the level of your cumulative donations. Do you know where we could store our bikes? Or a business that might donate sheet metal? Maybe you have a spare tandem bike?
It’s Complicated!
Bike On! is a challenging project requiring resources and expertise to deconstruct the rear wheel, put in a new hub, and build and attach the outrigger. Walt Custer, our bike technician, is drafting a new design and will lead the fabrication.
