Bike Drive recycles old bikes and parts into road-worthy
cycles for low-income kids and adults
| WHAT: | Do you have a gently used bicycle that’s collecting dust in the garage? Maybe even a spare bicycle wheel or part that you don’t need? If so, Bob’s Red Mill and the Portland Community Cycling Center invite you to take part in their second annual Bike Drive on August 28 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Bob’s Red Mill Whole Grains Store and Visitor Center in Milwaukie, OR. All bike and parts donations are tax deductible and will be transformed by the Portland Community Cycling Center into road-worthy cycles for people of all ages, abilities and incomes. In return for donating to the drive, Bob’s Red Mill will give out coupons for a free breakfast at the company’s Whole Grains Store & Visitors Center. |

| WHY: | Bob’s Red Mill is an active supporter of cycling and sponsors cyclocross events and competitors here in Portland and across the country. Cyclocross is a form of bicycle racing that is a hybrid sport of road and off-road racing, which requires high levels of stamina that can be fueled with slow-release carbohydrates from foods like oatmeal that provide sustained energy. |
