IN SUPPORT OF WONDER WHEELS AND FAMILY SERVICES OF THE NORTH SHORE
This holiday season, let’s put lights on our bikes to support Wonder Wheels (formerly Bikes for Tykes) a program of Family Services of the North Shore in proud partnership with founder James Wilson, owner of Obsession Bikes. The Wonder Wheels program helps families who are unable to afford a bike for their children, receive one at Christmas. This year, funds raised will go towards supporting the overall program including parts and labour costs necessary to refurbish pre-loved bikes, as well as bike helmets.
Jessica McIlroy and Tony Valente will be leading a holiday light bike ride around the City and District of North Vancouver.
This community ride will depart from Grand Boulevard and 15th Street East at 4.30pm before looping up to Lynn Valley in the District, and then coming back down on the west side of the City of North Vancouver.
The ride will be preceded by a safety discussion and we will stay together along the route. No one will be left behind. We will seek to use mostly protected bike infrastructure, though in some areas we will be on streets and crossing intersections. The ride is at your own risk.
See Map (below) If you are participating please make a contribution to help someone else get their wheels! You know—for future rides! There is nothing more wonderful than riding a bike. It gives kids a feeling of joy, connection, and freedom that can’t be compared. Every kid should have access to a bike, and every kid should experience the wonder that comes from riding a bike. Thank you for helping us get these kiddos on wheels this holiday season.
