Norte Youth Cycling, a nonprofi t organization dedicated to empowering youth through cycling, is excited to host its Spring Tune-Up event at Carson Square in Traverse City on Thursday, April 4 from noon to 4 p.m. This free, family-friendly event is for residents of Carson Square, a low-income community supported by Goodwill Northern Michigan.
The event will offer a variety of activities, including: Free basic bike tune-ups by Norte volunteer mechanics, Bike safety checks to ensure each bike is ready to hit the road, and Educational resources on bike maintenance and safety.
“The Spring Tune-Up is our way of ensuring our most vulnerable community members have access to safe, reliable transportation for work, school, and everyday needs,” said Jill Sill, Executive Director of Norte Youth Cycling. “We know how crucial bicycles are to the wellbeing of this population. We also know that repairing bicycles is not always inexpensive. We can truly change lives by getting damaged or unsafe bikes repaired and rolling for springtime.”
