Local community non-profit San Francisco Yellow Bike Project (SFYBP) will host its Kids’ Bike Extravaganza on Saturday, April 12 from 12-5 p.m. PT at the Tenderloin Children’s Playground (570 Ellis Street).
The event focuses on serving community families through bike giveaways, safety lessons and maintenance skills workshops. Founders Mary Kay Chin and Nathan Woody will open the Kids’ Bike Extravaganza with a few words on the organization’s vision and will provide hands-on sessions teaching local residents how to properly set up their bikes for a safe ride.
As a part of the Kids’ Extravaganza, Yellow Bike Project SF will be hosting a bike swap where bikers can trade in old bicycles and parts. Participants may bring in their kids' bikes to donate or exchange, no matter what condition the bike is in. This will be an opportunity to trade up for a proper sized bike after the child outgrows the old one.
District Six Supervisor Jane Kim will speak at 2p.m. on behalf of SFYBP and its mission to put repurposed bikes back into circulation imparting bicycling as a transformative life activity.
Founded in 2010, avid bike enthusiasts Chin and Woody organized a team of grassroots volunteers to build and repair broken bikes to be distributed among the entire San Francisco community – including local schools and youth organizations.
SFYBP will also be providing more than 30 bikes to children attending the event. They can then take a ride the following day as part of Tenderloin Sunday Streets.
