We are thankful to have a local program where boys and girls 11 -14 can select a donated bike and clean and repair it with volunteers. The program is free and includes new helmets, locks and T-shirts. HCC members have been very supportive in the past. A even larger space would allow them to also hold programs there. Kids bikes in good condition are in constant need.
Volunteers are always welcome.
There are two workshops in Spring and two in Fall - each for five sessions of two hours each. They usually meet at Rogers Park MS on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6 to 8pm. All you need is the desire to work with kids and a little knowledge of bikes. There is an excellent mechanic who does the actual instruction and supervises the repairs. This year s Tour de Torrington will be held Sunday August 5 th .
