From the Reno Kiwanis club: "OK it's a leap of faith, and we hope it doesn't bury us. The Black Rock Bikes folks donate bikes to us, and we (Kiwanis Bike Program) fix them up for kids. We get bikes donated from the Reno area all year as well. This means we have more than a hundred bikes that are not good for kids, but are great for Burners. We don't want to worry about rental return, so we'll sell them to you for $30, $40 or $50 depending on how good and how cool the bike is.
If you bring them back after you're done, we'll be super-grateful, and we'll re-use them this year for sure, but if not, that's ok too. If you want to see how we use the proceeds for our bikes for kids programs, our web site is http://www.kiwanisbikes.org. Check us out and help us out. Bikes only -- no other items -- no bike racks or decorations. Send us an email early to kiwanis_bikes@sbcglobal.net and we can reserve one for you for the price you tell us until we run out. We plan to have more than a hundred bikes ready for the big day -- so let us know early!
If you want to take a chance that we still have bikes when you get to Reno, come by our shop at 2605 Comstock in Reno and see what we still have. Or stop by and say hi even if you don't need a bike and see what we're doing for kids from Gerlach to Fallon and for our own Reno kids as well. We'll be at the shop the week before Burning Man from 10-5 daily.
Reno: If you want to share in the fun early and decorate a bike for the Tour de Nez Decorated Bike Contest, check out their site and enter your bike. We'll have prizes for best decorated and some other fun prizes on June 16 and your bike will be part of the parade of decorated bikes at the Tour. It would be a great chance to kick off your artwork early and put your unique bike in our contest at the Tour. Join the fun and help us let folks know that we're making biking a reality for kids in the Reno area."
