It's time for our annual garage sale fundraiser! We have a lot of inventory to unload including endless bins of parts, rare bikes, tandems, vintage bikes, garden bikes, e-bikes, over a dozen tagalongs, bike trailers, a pet trailer, bike racks of all kinds, and so much more. So put the date in your phone now so you don't miss out! We'll see you at our bike shop on Saturday! Cash and Paypal payments will be accepted and everything is sold as-is. WHERE: 354 Coyier Lane, Madison, WI 53713 (one half mile west of the Cap City Trail where it crosses Nob Hill Road) PLEASE DONATE USING THE FOLLOWING LINK TO SUPPORT OUR MISSION OF SEEING THAT EVERY KID GETS A BIKE! https://fb4kmadison.networkforgood.com/projects/137160-help-us-give-bikes-away Announcing Madison's one-of-a-kind bike ride—the South Side Slow Roll on August 5th, 2-7 pm! Free Bikes 4 Kidz Madison is excited to announce its first annual bike ride, the South Side Slow Roll on Saturday, August 5th, 2023! This is a ride like no other in the Madison area—it’s designed for the people who DON'T own spandex. If you are intimidated to hop on the area bike paths or haven’t ridden with a group before and want to enjoy an inclusive, community-building opportunity on a bike, you don’t want to miss this one! Not everyone wants to ride 25, 50, or 100 miles so we’ve got you covered with the 5-mile option you’ve been looking for. This ride is free and all are welcome! If you’re an avid biker who DOES own spandex and you’d like to come and offer friendly support to others and help develop an inclusive bike community, we’d love to have you! The slow rollers will roll promptly out of the Free Bikes 4 Kidz parking lot at 3 pm. We’ll slowly roll with style for a 5-mile ride on bike paths and bike-friendly streets ending at The Village on Park at 2300 S. Park Street. Decorate your bike, wear a costume, or come as you are! If your bike needs some love and minor adjustments, arrive at 2 pm where our volunteer mechanics will help get your bike in tip-top shape so you can safely ride with the group. After the ride, we’ll continue to socialize at The Village on Park with DJ Mr. Alexis, drinks, food carts, family fun activities, and street art activities with Artistic Gifts (Dani RAD) and TuWile. Come and support diverse communities in this fun ride! We’ll be joined by other nonprofit partners including Big Brothers Big Sisters of Dane County, Black Girl Magic, Wheels for Winners, and Bike Fitchburg.
