Truckee Meadows-based non-profit, the Reno Bike Project, is hosting several exciting community events this November.

The organization, which specializes in making bicycles more accessible and affordable to the Truckee Meadows community, is starting the month off with a fundraiser for a new van. This van will make it easier for the non-profit to recruit and transport new members for their NICA Mountain Bike team, especially younger members facing transportation issues. Those wishing to donate to the cause can find a link here on the 2 News website. 

The next event they're hosting this month is FreeWheels4Kids, where people of all ages and skill levels are invited to me and help tune kids bikes that have been donated to the organization. Reno Bike Project will then give these re-tuned bikes to children in the community who wouldn't be able to access them otherwise. This event is perfect for those wanting to support a good cause and begin their involvement with the organization.

Finally, Reno Bike Project is beginning recruitment for their FutureCycle 2024 program. This job skills program gives youth facing roadblocks to success a chance to participate in 15 weeks of paid training and internship in bike retail and repair. Teens and young adults ages 16-24 are encouraged to reach out to the organization and apply. 

More information about these events and others can be found on the Reno Bike Project website.
