About
Bike Clark County Youth Bicycle Programs include activities such as bike maintenance skills, bike safety, classroom lessons, playground practice, and group rides. The programs also connect with community events and rides, and are supported by a full service bicycle repair and retail bike shop that carries new and used gear and bicycles. Some youth take part in an Earn a Bike Camp where participants receive a free used bike while learning bicycle repair and other bike maintenance skills, and others join a School Safety Course that combines classroom lessons, playground practice, and a group ride.
